Abstract

Background and Objectives: The attitude towards uncertainty and ambiguity is studied with the use of various questionnaires. However, not a single test used in the transdiagnostic model of affective disorders researches has been translated into Ukrainian language. This study examines psychometric properties and a factor structure of the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS-12), short version in Ukrainian sample. Methods: 226 university students filled IUS-12, MSTAT-1 and anxiety measures. A confirmatory factor analysis was used to analyze the factor structure and compare two- and bi-factor models of IUS-12. Results: Results indicated that the IUS-12 bi-factor model provides the best fit to the empirical data. Internal consistency was good (=0.81). Convergent validity with state and trait anxiety was high for both the total score and subscales. Correlation analysis confirmed divergent validity with MSTAT-1. Limitations: The data was collected on students, and it is necessary to conduct additional research on various aged and clinical samples. Also, future research should examine the retest reliability. Conclusion: These results suggest that the Ukrainian adaptation of IUS-12 short version is reliable, show adequate evidence of validity and can be used in future research dedicated to intolerance of uncertainty.
