本研究考察了伴或不伴广场恐惧症(PD+/-AG)的惊恐障碍患者焦虑相关人格特征的性别差异。门诊确诊PD+/-AG患者101例，完成焦虑敏感指数(ASI)、状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI-T)、新修订人格问卷(NEO PI-R)和抑制性自我报告(RSRI)，作为评估的一部分。ASI总分没有发现显著的性别差异。女性在ASI的生理关注分量表上的得分显著高于男性，而男性在社会关注分量表上的得分显著高于女性。女性在NEO PI-R的外倾量表以及该领域的某些分量表上得分高于男性。尽管在神经质维度上没有发现显著的性别差异，但男性在这一特征的愤怒、敌意和抑郁方面得分更高。STAI-T和RSRI没有发现显著的性别差异。这些发现表明，PD+/-AG患者在焦虑症状的恐惧后果以及外向的人格特征上存在性别差异。(C)2004年Wiley-Liss公司
This study examined gender differences in anxiety-related personality traits in patients with panic disorder with or without agoraphobia (PD +/- AG). Outpatients (101 total) with SCID confirmed PD +/- AG completed the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI), the Trait form of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T), the NEO Personality Inventory Revised (NEO PI-R), and the Retrospective Self-Report of Inhibition (RSRI) as part of their assessment. Significant gender differences were not detected for the total ASI scores. Females scored significantly higher than males on the Physical Concerns subscale of the ASI, whereas males scored significantly higher than women on the Social Concerns subscale. Women scored higher than men on the Extraversion scale of the NEO PI-R as well as on certain subscales of this domain. Although a significant gender difference was not detected on the Neuroticism subscale, men scored higher on the angry hostility and depression facets of this trait. Significant gender differences were not found for the STAI-T or the RSRI. These findings suggest that gender differences exist among patients with PD +/- AG in the feared consequences of anxiety symptoms as well as in the personality characteristics of extraversion.
