本研究在荷兰13-16岁正常青少年的大样本（n=819）中检查了焦虑敏感性结构。K.，Fleisig，W.，拉比安，B。&彼得森河A.（1991年）。Journal of Clinical Child Psychology，20，162-168）和特质焦虑、焦虑症症状和抑郁的测量。结果表明，（1）由CASI索引的焦虑敏感性似乎是一个具有一个高阶因素（即，焦虑敏感性）和三个或四个低阶因素，（2）焦虑敏感性和特质焦虑强烈相关，（3）焦虑敏感性与焦虑症（特别是惊恐症和广场恐怖症）和抑郁症的症状实质上相关，和（4）焦虑敏感性和特质焦虑都占焦虑症症状方差的独特比例。总之，这些研究结果与以前在成人和儿童人群中的研究结果一致，并进一步支持了焦虑敏感性应被视为焦虑脆弱性的一个独特因素的观点。(C)2000爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
The current study examined the anxiety sensitivity construct in a large sample of normal Dutch adolescents aged 13-16 years (n=819), Children completed the Childhood Anxiety Sensitivity Index (CASI; Silverman, W. K., Fleisig, W., Rabian, B. & Peterson, R. A. (1991). Journal of Clinical Child Psychology, 20, 162-168) and measures of trait anxiety, anxiety disorder symptoms and depression. Results showed that (1) anxiety sensitivity as indexed by the CASI seems to be a hierarchically organized construct with one higher-order factor (i.e., anxiety sensitivity) and three or four lower-order factors, (2) anxiety sensitivity and trait anxiety were strongly correlated, (3) anxiety sensitivity was substantially connected to symptoms of anxiety disorders (in particular of panic disorder and agoraphobia) and depression, and (4) anxiety sensitivity and trait anxiety both accounted for unique proportions of the variance in anxiety disorder symptoms. Altogether these findings are in agreement with those of previous research in adult and child populations, and further support the notion that anxiety sensitivity should be viewed as an unique factor of anxiety vulnerability.
