Abstract

Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is widely considered a transdiagnostic risk and maintaining factor for psychiatric disorders. However, little is known about the overall nature and profile of IU among adolescents. This study aims to investigate the profiles of IU among Chinese adolescents and explore their associations with sociodemographic characteristics and mental health problems. A sample of 108,540 adolescents provided data on IU, sociodemographic characteristics, and mental health via an online platform. Latent profile analysis revealed three profiles: Low IU, Medium IU, and High IU. Girls, older adolescents, and those with specific sociodemographics were more likely to belong to the "High IU" profile. Furthermore, the "High IU" profile was associated with the highest risk of several mental health problems. These findings provided valuable information for early prevention and intervention strategies targeting IU and highlighted the importance of IU-based interventions for mental health among adolescents.

108,540名青少年对不确定性的不容忍概况：与社会人口学变量和心理健康的关系

不确定性不耐受（IU）被广泛认为是精神疾病的跨诊断风险和维持因素。然而，对青少年中IU的总体性质和概况知之甚少。本研究旨在调查中国青少年的IU状况，并探讨其与社会人口学特征和心理健康问题的关系。108,540名青少年的样本通过在线平台提供了IU、社会人口统计学特征和心理健康的数据。潜在剖面分析显示三种剖面：低IU、中IU和高IU。女孩、年龄较大的青少年和具有特定社会人口统计学特征的人更有可能属于“高IU”人群。此外，“高IU”形象与几种精神健康问题的最高风险相关。这些发现为针对IU的早期预防和干预策略提供了有价值的信息，并强调了基于IU的干预措施对青少年心理健康的重要性。
