This study aims to examine the effects of multidimensional attitudes towards ambiguity on subclinical depression and anxiety in healthy individuals. Attitudes Towards Ambiguity Scale, consisting of four clusters (enjoyment, anxiety, exclusion, and noninterference), Self-Rating Depression Scale, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-trait version were administered to 1019 Japanese volunteers. The result of a regression analysis suggested that the score of Attitudes Towards Ambiguity Scale-enjoyment factor significantly contributed to the Self-Rating Depression Scale score while that of Attitudes Towards Ambiguity Scale-anxiety factor significantly contributed to the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-trait score. Among attitudes toward ambiguity, enjoyment may have protective effects against subclinical depression whereas anxiety can enhance anxiety-trait in nonclinical individuals.
本研究旨在探讨健康个体对模糊性的多维态度对亚临床抑郁和焦虑的影响。对1019名日本志愿者施测了由四个维度(享受、焦虑、排斥和不干涉)组成的模糊性态度量表、自评抑郁量表和状态-特质焦虑量表-特质版。回归分析结果表明,模糊性态度量表-享受因子得分对自评抑郁量表得分有显著贡献,而模糊性态度量表-焦虑因子得分对状态-特质焦虑量表-特质得分有显著贡献。在对模糊性的态度中,享受可能对亚临床抑郁有保护作用,而焦虑会增强非临床个体的特质焦虑。
