Abstract
Since Frenkel-Brunswick (1948, 1949) introduced the concept of Intolerance of Ambiguity, many investigators have tried to establish both its validity and generality as a personality variable, and its relationship to other personality variables, especially anxiety. The results have been mixed and contradictory. This study further explores the relationship between Intolerance of Ambiguity and anxiety, taking into account certain methodological difficulties in previous work.
