The relationship of Intolerance of Uncertainty and Generalization (Linear Deviation Score)
As an exploratory analysis, we correlated individual levels of IUS with generalization (LDS) in all variables included in the main analysis, to explore whether dispositional intolerance of uncertainty influences the steepness and strength of the generalization. We found a moderate positive correlation for US-expectancy, r (86) = 0.324, p = .002. As can be seen in Figure 6, the higher the IUS of the participants the wider the generalization gradient of their expectation of US in response to the GSs. IUS did not show significant correlations with any of the other measures (all p values > .208, Bonferroni correction α < .01).
