在焦虑和抑郁的情绪、认知和生理特征的研究中，症状的共变和缺乏症状特异性已被证明是复杂化的因素。人们进行了许多尝试来研究焦虑和抑郁的独特且重叠的特征。本研究的有趣之处在于所提出的焦虑和抑郁类型之间的潜在区别。对 783 名大学生进行了各种自我报告措施。相关分析和验证性因素分析一致表明，焦虑唤醒（躯体焦虑）和焦虑忧虑（担忧）代表了不同的情感维度，可以与抑郁和负面情绪区分开来。
Symptom covariation and lack of symptom specificity have proven to be complicating factors in research on the emotional, cognitive, and physiologic characteristics of anxiety and depression. Numerous attempts have been made to investigate the unique and overlapping features of anxiety and depression. Of interest in the present study were potential distinctions among proposed types of anxiety and depression. A variety of self-report measures were administered to 783 college students. Correlational analyses and confirmatory factor analyses converged in suggesting that anxious arousal (somatic anxiety) and anxious apprehension (worry) represent distinct affective dimensions that can be distinguished from depression and negative affect.
