How is the Beads Task related to intolerance of uncertainty in anxiety disorders?

Highlights • We examined the use of the Beads Task as a behavioral measure of IU. • Beads Task induced uncertainty as the probabilistic decision became more difficult. • ANX and NAC groups did not differ on observable performance related measures. • ANX group was more distressed during the task than...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We examined the use of the Beads Task as a behavioral measure of IU. • Beads Task induced uncertainty as the probabilistic decision became more difficult. • ANX and NAC groups did not differ on observable performance related measures. • ANX group was more distressed during the task than NACs. • IU was correlated with draws to decision and in vivo task-related distress.
