Abstract

Background: Few studies have explored the relationship between trait anxiety, intolerable of uncertainty, mastery and state anxiety, which is of great significance to understand the causes and relief of anxiety. Objective: To explore the relationship among trait anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty, mastery and state anxiety. Methods: Ninety-four college students were conveniently chosen to engage in a survey research including Trait Anxiety Inventory, Mastery Scale, the self-evaluation of intolerance of uncertainty and state anxiety. Results: (1) Correlation analysis showed that, the relationships between each pair of trait anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty and state anxiety were significantly positive. Trait anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty and state anxiety were all negatively related to mastery. (2) Mediating effect analysis showed that, intolerance of uncertainty and mastery played a partial mediating role between trait anxiety and state anxiety respectively (the ratio of the mediating effect to total effects was 9.10% and 10.53% respectively). (3) Chain mediating effect analysis showed that, the chain mediating effect of intolerance of uncertainty and mastery between trait anxiety and state anxiety was significant (3.89%). Conclusion: Trait anxiety affected state anxiety not only directly but through the chain mediating roles of intolerance of uncertainty and mastery.
