Abstract Objectives To optimize their training, predictors of physicians’ satisfaction with their management of uncertainty should be examined. This study investigated these predictors by using a simulated advanced stage cancer patient. Methods Physicians (n = 85) rated their satisfaction with their management of uncertainty (Visual Analog Scale-100 mm) after a decision-making encounter. Communication predictors were examined with the: Observing Patient Involvement scale (OPTION), Multidimensional analysis of Patient Outcome Predictions (MD.POP) and Communication Content Analysis Software (LaComm). Psychological predictors were assessed with the: Intolerance of Uncertainty Inventory (IUI), Physicians’ Reactions to Uncertainty scale (PRU), Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS), and Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy (JSPE). Results Physicians’ satisfaction (mean = 67 mm, standard deviation = 17 mm) was not predicted by their communication, but by their anxiety due to uncertainty (PRU) (ß = -.42, p =
