Abstract

The relationship between intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and anxiety has been extensively studied in adults, while research on child IU is nascent. Despite recent advances in the evaluation of IU and clinical correlates in youth, little is known about familial patterns of IU and intergenerational links between parent and child IU. The present study provides a preliminary evaluation of the relationship between maternal IU and child IU in a sample of community youth (N = 90; ages 7–13 years). Analyses showed a significant, medium association between maternal and child IU (r = .42, p < .01), and this effect remained significant after controlling for maternal anxiety. Moreover, the relationship between maternal and child IU mediated the well-established link between maternal and child anxiety (b = .22, 95 % bias-corrected bootstrap CI .05, .54). Future research is needed to examine the mechanisms through which maternal and child IU are linked to inform developmental models of anxiety and the intergenerational transmission of IU.
