焦虑敏感性（AS）反映了对与唤醒相关的感觉的恐惧，而不能容忍不确定性（IU）则代表了对未知事物的性格恐惧。在认知行为模型中，AS 和 IU 是个体差异变量，被认为是健康焦虑现象学的核心。然而，之前的研究对这两个变量是否逐渐有助于我们对健康焦虑的理解提出了质疑。为了解决这些先前研究的局限性，本研究检查了 AS 和 IU 的增量特异性，因为这两个变量与大量健康健康的社区成年人样本 (N = 474) 中的健康焦虑有关。除了负面影响和相互影响之外，AS 和 IU 都逐渐对健康焦虑的同时预测做出了贡献。然而，在这些分析中，AS 的物理维度和 IU 的抑制维度是唯一证明与健康焦虑相关的增量特异性的 AS 和 IU 维度。 (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Anxiety sensitivity (AS) reflects the fear of arousal-related sensations and intolerance of uncertainty (IU) represents the dispositional fear of the unknown. Within cognitive-behavioral models, AS and IU are individual difference variables considered central to the phenomenology of health anxiety. However, prior studies have cast doubt on whether both variables incrementally contribute to our understanding of health anxiety. Addressing limitations of these prior studies, the present study examined the incremental specificity of AS and IU as these two variables relate to health anxiety in a large medically healthy sample of community adults (N = 474). Both AS and IU incrementally contributed to the concurrent prediction of health anxiety beyond both negative affect and one another. However, within these analyses, the physical dimension of AS and the inhibitory dimension of IU were the only AS and IU dimensions to evidence incremental specificity in relation to health anxiety.
