Yet, in this context, no study has examined the relationship\u0000between intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and either anxiety or depression\u0000during pandemic among Indonesians. This study investigated the pathway\u0000between IU, anxiety and depression serially mediated by cognitive appraisals\u0000(perceived severity, controllability, and knowledge) and emotional and\u0000behavioural responses to COVID-19. Online psychological measures were\u0000administered to 406 participants, including the IUS-12, the DASS-21,\u0000cognitive appraisal scales, and emotional and behavioural response scale. An\u0000indirect pathway was found between IU and depression, and the effect was\u0000serially mediated by perceived of severity and emotional and behavioural\u0000responses to COVID-19. Perceived knowledge and perceived controllability\u0000of COVID-19 did not significantly contribute to the model. A similar\u0000pathway was found for IU predicting anxiety. As conclusion, IU represents\u0000a risk factor for heightened emotional and behavioural difficulties that\u0000eventually, could lead to either anxiety or depression during COVID-19.\"","PeriodicalId":43042,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Evidence-Based Psychotherapies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47088331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Factor analytic studies typically found evidence for a\u0000two-factor solution of the negative symptom domain: the expressive and the\u0000volitional deficit. This study aimed to investigate whether the two-factor\u0000solution of negative symptoms is supported across different instruments of\u0000evaluation: PANSS and NSA-16 in outpatients with schizophrenia and to\u0000explore the relationship between these domains and sociodemographic,\u0000clinical, and metabolic outcomes, routinely assessed in daily\u0000practice.Another aim was to determine clinical predictors of negative\u0000symptoms domains among these variables.\u0000Materials and methods: 107 patients with schizophrenia were included in\u0000this cross-sectional study. The Principal Component Analysis was used to\u0000identify negative symptom domains and Spearman's rank correlation\u0000coefficient and multiple regression analyses were used to assess the\u0000relationship between the negative symptom domains and clinical variables.\u0000Results: PCA indicated a two-component solution explaining 85.2% of the\u0000variance for the NSA-16 subscales, reflecting an expressive deficit and an\u0000experiential deficit component.
