Susan Mineka,Richard E. Zinbarg +1 more
TL;DR: How considerations of early learning histories and temperamental vulnerabilities affect the short- and long-term outcomes of experiences with stressful events and how contextual variables during and following stressful learning events affect the course of anxiety disorder symptoms once they develop is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Into the unknown: A review and synthesis of contemporary models involving uncertainty.
TL;DR: The current review and synthesis serves to define and contextualize fear of the unknown relative to related constructs, such as intolerance of uncertainty, and contemporary models of emotion, attachment, and neuroticism, to provide a robust foundation for transdiagnostic theoretical and empirical explorations into fearing the unknown and intolerance of Uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel theory of experiential avoidance in generalized anxiety disorder: A review and synthesis of research supporting a contrast avoidance model of worry
TL;DR: A new way of conceptualizing emotional sequelae in GAD is proposed by detailing the Contrast Avoidance Model of Worry, which states that individuals with GAD are more sensitive to feeling emotionally vulnerable to unexpected negative events, and that worry is employed to prolong and maintain a negative emotional state thereby avoiding an unexpected negative emotional shift, or contrast experience.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Achieving certainty about the structure of intolerance of uncertainty in a treatment-seeking sample with anxiety and depression
TL;DR: Psychometric properties of the best fitting solution, including internal reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity, are examined, consistent with intolerance of uncertainty being a transdiagnostic maintaining factor.
