虽然恐惧问卷（FQ）已被广泛使用，但其对焦虑症患者的心理测量特性仍不清楚。本研究以251名焦虑症患者为研究对象，对焦虑问卷的心理测量学特征进行了研究。因子分析表明，一个明确的3因素的解决方案，占42%的方差。这3个因子对应于3个FQ分量表：广场恐怖症（Agoraphobia，SAG-Ag）、社交恐怖症（Social Phobia，SAG-Soc）、血液/伤害恐怖症。所有分量表的Cronbach α系数均为中至高（范围= 0.71 - 0.83）。惊恐障碍伴广场恐怖症（AG）或社交恐怖症（SOC）的患者根据FQ分量表而非FQ总分进行区分。广泛性焦虑症患者不能区分使用FQ分量表。此外，这些研究结果表明，FQ焦虑/抑郁子量表的心理测量特性是健全的。提供了这些患者的规范性数据。研究结果表明，AG患者和SOC患者可以从其他诊断组的基础上，对问卷的答复，特别是使用的Ag-Ag和Ag-Soc分量表进行区分。
Although the Fear Questionnaire (FQ) has been widely used, its psychometric properties for anxiety disorder patients are still unclear. This study reports the psychometric properties of the FQ with a sample of 251 (178 female and 73 male) anxiety disorder patients. Factor analysis showed a clear 3-factor solution that accounted for 42% of the variance. The 3 factors corresponded to the 3 FQ subscales: Agoraphobia (FQ-Ag), Social Phobia (FQ-Soc), Blood/Injury Phobia. All subscales had moderate-to-high Cronbach's alpha coefficients (range = .71-.83). Patients with panic disorder with agoraphobia (AG) or social phobia (SOC) were discriminated on the basis of the FQ subscales but not the FQ Total. Generalized anxiety disorder patients could not be discriminated using FQ subscales. Also, these findings showed that the psychometric properties of the FQ Anxiety/Depression subscale were sound. Normative data for these patients are presented. The findings suggest that AG patients and SOC patients can be differentiated from other diagnostic groups on the basis of responses to the questionnaire, particularly using the FQ-Ag and FQ-Soc subscales.
