Abstract [en]

The experience of uncertainty, typically attributed to a lack of knowledge, is central to the study of information behaviour. Uncertainty also arises, however, from real-world indeterminacy that no amount of information can resolve. This paper explores the multiple sources of psychological uncertainty and examines the implications for information behaviour research and practice.

Abstract [fr]

L'expérience de l'incertitude, généralement attribuée à un défaut de connaissance, est centrale dans l'étude du comportement informationnel. Mais l'incertitude découle aussi, cependant, de l'indétermination propre au monde réel, qu'aucune quantité d'information ne saurait résoudre. Cet article explore les multiples sources d'incertitude psychologique, et en examine les implications pour la recherche et la pratique en comportement informationnel.
