Abstract

Sensory Sensitivity (SS), Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) and Sex were investigated as potential risk factors associated with anxiety in an undergraduate sample (n=237). Results indicated that the relationship between SS and anxiety was partially mediated by IU, and this relationship was further moderated by sex.
