Abstract

Background and objectives: The role of anxiety as a risk factor for compulsive exercise elements among adolescents is unclear. Intolerance of uncertainty (IU), which is a risk feature for anxiety and eating disorders, may be an important, unexplored risk factor for compulsive exercise dimensions. This study aimed to examine the role of IU dimensions and anxiety on compulsive exercise elements. Given previous evidence indicating gender differences in compulsive exercise and IU levels, gender was included as a moderator.

Design/methods: A total of 201 adolescent girls and 207 adolescent boys completed the following questionnaires: Eating Disorder Inventory-3, Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-12 (IUS-12), a brief version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Compulsive Exercise Test (CET).

Results: The hierarchical regression analyses showed that the interaction between IUS-Prospective and gender emerged as a significant predictor of CET-Avoidance and CET-Weight control exercise beyond symptoms of eating disorders and anxiety. Post hoc analysis revealed that the IUS-Prospective was a significant predictor of CET-Avoidance and CET-Weight Control among boys, but not among girls.

Conclusions: These findings suggest that prospective IU may contribute towards obsessive-compulsive attitudes towards exercise among adolescent population, specifically among boys.

对不确定性和焦虑的不容忍在青少年强迫性运动中的作用。

背景和目的:焦虑作为青少年强迫性运动因素的风险因素的作用尚不清楚。不确定性不耐受(IU)是焦虑和饮食失调的一个风险特征，可能是强迫性运动维度的一个重要的、未被探索的风险因素。本研究旨在探讨IU维度和焦虑在强迫性运动因素中的作用。鉴于先前的证据表明强迫性运动和IU水平的性别差异，性别被纳入调节因素。设计/方法:共有201名青春期女生和207名青春期男生完成了以下问卷:饮食失调量表-3、不确定性不耐受量表-12 (IUS-12)、状态-特质焦虑量表(State-Trait Anxiety Inventory)和强迫运动测试(CET)。结果:层次回归分析显示，在饮食失调和焦虑症状之外，IUS-Prospective和性别之间的相互作用成为cet -回避和cet -体重控制运动的重要预测因子。事后分析显示，IUS-Prospective在男孩中是CET-Avoidance和CET-Weight Control的显著预测因子，而在女孩中则不是。结论:这些发现表明，前瞻性IU可能有助于青少年，特别是男孩对运动的强迫性态度。

期刊介绍： This journal provides a forum for scientific, theoretically important, and clinically significant research reports and conceptual contributions. It deals with experimental and field studies on anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress and emotion. We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes, specific for stress and anxiety. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership. While the journal is open to a diversity of articles.
