提出了焦虑（症状发生的频率）和焦虑敏感性（焦虑体验具有负面影响的信念）之间的区别。在研究1中，一个新构建的焦虑敏感性指数（ASI）被证明有良好的心理测量属性的两个样本的大学生。重要的发现是，倾向于支持焦虑的一种消极含义的人也倾向于支持其他消极含义。在研究2中，发现ASI特别与广场恐怖症相关，通常与焦虑症相关。在研究3中，ASI解释了恐惧调查表II的方差，而泰勒显性焦虑量表或可靠的焦虑频率检查表无法解释该方差。在预测恐惧以及其他可能的焦虑症的发展时，了解一个人认为焦虑会发生什么可能比了解一个人实际经历焦虑的频率更重要。讨论了“恐惧的恐惧”的竞争观点的影响。
A distinction is proposed between anxiety (frequency of symptom occurrence) and anxiety sensitivity (beliefs that anxiety experiences have negative implications). In Study 1, a newly-constructed Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI) was shown to have sound psychometric properties for each of two samples of college students. The important finding was that people who tend to endorse one negative implication for anxiety also tend to endorse other negative implications. In study 2, the ASI was found to be especially associated with agoraphobia and generally associated with anxiety disorders. In Study 3, the ASI explained variance on the Fear Survey Schedule-II that was not explained by either the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale or a reliable Anxiety Frequency Checklist. In predicting the development of fears, and possibly other anxiety disorders, it may be more important to know what the person thinks will happen as a result of becoming anxious than how often the person actually experiences anxiety. Implications are discussed for competing views of the ''fear of fear''.
