A fundamental facet of the human condition is uncertainty. Additionally, one essential characteristic of the human psyche is a basic intolerance for uncertainty. On the clinical front, intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is defined as a predisposition to be intolerant to uncertain stimuli. IU has been found to be a transdiagnostic vulnerability in many psychological illnesses, like OCD, anxiety, and depression. However, religion has been found to be helpful in assisting people in coping with IU since it offers a pre-existing framework for how one may live his/her life and, in doing so, considerably mitigates anxiety. Religion is a universal phenomenon found in all cultures, and many studies have been conducted to study the relationship between religion and prosocial behavior. However, there is little research where these variables are studied in relation to each other in one study. This gap is significant and prompts a review of the literature on these three variables (Prosocial Behavior, Religiosity, & Intolerance of Uncertainty) to find out how and why the gap presents itself and what are the prospects of future studies on these variables.
