Abstract | The phenomenon of intolerance of ambiguity in young children was investigated in this longitudinal study. Personality data for the total of 120 children in the study were obtained from: (1) descriptions of the children at both 3 and 4 years of age by their teachers, using the California Child Q-set; (2) the children's performance on the Lowenfeld Mosaic Test; (3) their reactions to a Curiosity Box covered with a variety of hinges, snaps, electrical switches, sandpaper, bull-chains, latches and peepholes; and (4) independent observations of the children in a relatively unstructured 20-minute sandbox play situation. Information on parent-child relationships pertinent to children's intolerance of ambiguity was obtained from: (1) self-reported parental child-rearing attitudes and practices; (2) video-taped parental behaviors in a teaching situation; and (3) descriptions of mothers and fathers by the mothers according to an Adjective Q-sort. Data suggest that intolerance of ambiguity in young children can be described; that it is relatively stable over a period of at least one year; that children intolerant of ambiguity tend to avoid, restrict attention within, and impose premature structure upon relatively unstructured situations; and that this characteristic is significantly associated with paternal hostility, impatience and rejection for boys, and with unusually high levels of maternal supportiveness for girls.
