Abstract

In an effort to establish a criterion for Frenkel-Brunswik's postulated variable "Intolerance of Ambiguity," 322 students of both sexes in three age groups consisting of three ethnic classifications were administered two measures of intolerance of ambiguity and a modified F-Scale. Ambiguity tolerance was investigated both as a coping mechanism and as a mode of evaluation.
