• Research summary

  Tolerating uncertainty is an important factor in some mental health difficulties (e.g., anxiety). We wanted to see if this is true for people with psychosis. We hope this helps us to develop our understanding of whether tolerating uncertainty is an important factor in keeping the distress that people with psychosis experience going. Understanding what maintains people’s distress is important as identifying factors can then be explored with further research.
