一些研究人员发现，焦虑和抑郁在非临床样本中无法区分，并提出这两种结构可能都是一般心理痛苦过程的组成部分。另一种可能性是，重叠是由于使用的量表的心理测量学限制。采用Beck抑郁量表(BDI；Beck，1978)、状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI；Spielberger，1983)和Endler多维度焦虑量表(EMAS；Endler，Edwards，&Vitelli，1991)对非临床样本(N=605)进行一系列探索性因素分析。状态焦虑和特质焦虑、抑郁与BDI和EMAS均有显著差异，但与状态焦虑和抑郁无显著差异。负性情感或一般精神病理学的一些理论模型可能为时过早。
Several researchers have found anxiety and depression to be indistinguishable in nonclinical samples and have suggested that both constructs may be components of a general psychological distress process. Another possibility is that overlap is due to the psychometric limitations of scales used. A series of exploratory factor analyses were conducted in a nonclinical sample (N = 605) using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; Beck, 1978), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI; Spielberger, 1983), and the Endler Multidimensional Anxiety Scales(EMAS; Endler, Edwards, & Vitelli, 1991). Both state and trait anxiety and depression could be differentiated with the BDI and the EMAS but not with the STAI. Some theoretical models of negative affectivity or general psychopathology may be premature.
