BACKGROUND There is evidence for the impact of emotional intolerance on reactivity to stressors, but it is unknown whether the level of situational uncertainty may moderate this relationship. We examined whether situational uncertainty moderated the relationship between emotional intolerance and anticipated anxious responding to hurricane forecasts, considering three aspects of emotional tolerance: anxiety sensitivity, distress intolerance, and hurricane-specific distress intolerance. METHODS Participants (N = 358) were Florida residents who experienced Hurricane Irma. Participants were presented with two hypothetical storm forecasts that varied in level of uncertainty: 5-day forecast (high uncertainty) and 3-day forecast (low uncertainty). Participants rated their anticipated worry and preparation for each forecast. RESULTS Significant interactions between forecast uncertainty and both anxiety sensitivity and hurricane-specific distress intolerance emerged on anticipated worry, such that there was a stronger relationship in the high uncertainty condition. Forecast uncertainty also moderated the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and anticipated preparation in the same direction. There were no significant interactions between forecast uncertainty and distress intolerance on either anticipated worry or preparation. CONCLUSIONS Specific aspects of emotional intolerance appear to have a stronger influence on anticipated worry and preparatory behavior in high uncertainty situations. These findings suggest that distinct emotional tolerance factors may influence these responses.

情境不确定性与焦虑敏感度和痛苦不容忍度相互作用，以预测飓风的预期担忧和准备。

背景 有证据表明情绪不耐受会影响对压力源的反应，但尚不清楚情境不确定性的程度是否会缓和这种关系。我们研究了情境不确定性是否缓和了情绪不容忍和对飓风预报的预期焦虑反应之间的关系，考虑了情绪容忍的三个方面：焦虑敏感性、痛苦不容忍和飓风特定的痛苦不容忍。方法 参与者 (N = 358) 是经历过飓风艾尔玛的佛罗里达州居民。向参与者展示了两种不确定性程度不同的假设风暴预报：5 天预报（高度不确定性）和 3 天预报（低不确定性）。参与者对每个预测的预期担忧和准备进行了评分。结果 预测的不确定性与焦虑敏感性和飓风特定的痛苦不容忍之间的显着相互作用出现在预期的担忧中，因此在高不确定性条件下存在更强的关系。预测的不确定性也在同一个方向上缓和了焦虑敏感性和预期准备之间的关系。预测的不确定性和对预期担忧或准备的痛苦不容忍之间没有显着的相互作用。结论 情绪不容忍的特定方面似乎对高度不确定情况下的预期担忧和准备行为有更强的影响。这些发现表明，不同的情绪容忍因素可能会影响这些反应。
