关于忧虑的理论讨论了适应和不适应的功能。本研究采用广泛性焦虑症（GAD）患者常见的六种焦虑原因的评定量表，探讨符合GAD自我报告标准的大学生焦虑者和对照组对焦虑功能的主观感知。受试者认为动机，为最坏的情况做准备，以及避免/预防负面结果是他们担心的最典型原因。然而，GAD组与其他对照组不同，特别是他们担心的原因是“从更情绪化的话题中分心”。
Theories regarding worry have discussed both adaptive and maladaptive functions. The present study used rating scales of the six reasons for worry commonly reported by generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) clients to explore subjective perceptions of the functions of worry held by college student worriers meeting self-reported criteria for GAD and by control subjects. Subjects rated motivation, preparation for the worst, and avoidance/prevention of negative outcomes as the most typical reasons for their worry. However, the GAD group was discriminated from other comparison groups particularly by high ratings of ''distraction from more emotional topics'' as a reason for their worry.
