Recent research has identified IU as a causal contributor to pervasive decision difficulties (indecisiveness). Given that IU and indecisiveness occur across mental disorders, understanding whether IU's causal role in indecisiveness extends to clinical populations is critical. This study therefore tested the effect of IU on indecisiveness in a clinical sample.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In this pre\u2010registered experiment,\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009154 individuals with formally diagnosed obsessive\u2010compulsive and\/or anxiety disorders were randomly assigned to a condition aimed at either increasing or decreasing IU.

Mediation analysis indicated a significant indirect effect of the experimental condition on indecisiveness via situational IU.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Compared to preceding research, effect sizes were small and the effect of IU on indecisiveness only manifested itself indirectly. More robust interventions may be necessary to induce more pronounced changes in IU within clinical populations. The reliance on a heterogeneous sample with various diagnoses limits the disorder\u2010specificity of the findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These results tentatively extend the causal role of IU in indecisiveness to mental disorders.
