寻求系统脱敏治疗恐高症的成人通过实验室类型的身高相关行为测试和几种自我报告测量一般恐惧和身高相关恐惧来评估。在30个样本1受试者[s]中开发了恐高问卷（AQ），并在第二个样本中对48名已接受治疗的患者和22名等候名单患者进行了行为测试和标准焦虑测量。虽然行为方法测量与焦虑回避和焦虑自我报告得分在预处理评估中显示中度相关，但治疗前后与等候名单治疗前后仅在焦虑焦虑方面存在显著差异。此外，治疗前后焦虑焦虑变化与其他自我报告变化得分存在中度相关，而与行为测试变化仅存在轻微相关。简要讨论了涉及实验室型行为测试对现实生活中的恐惧症的充分性的问题，以及通过精心制定的自我报告指数来增强行为测试的价值。
Adults seeking systematic desensitization treatment for acrophobia were assessed through laboratory type behavioral tests of height related behavior and through several self-report measures of general and height related fearfulness. An acrophobia questionnaire (AQ) developed on 30 sample 1 subjects [Ss] was used in conjunction with behavioral tests and standard anxiety measures for 48 treated and 22 waiting list Ss in a 2nd sample. Although the behavioral approach measure showed moderate correlation with AQ avoidance and anxiety self-report scores at the pretreatment assessment, significant treated vs. waiting list pre- to post-treatment differences were found only for the AQ. Moreover, pre- to post-treatment AQ change showed moderate correlation with other self-report change scores but only slight correlation with behavioral test change. Issues involving the adequacy of laboratory-type behavioral tests for real life phobias and the value of augmenting behavioral tests with carefully formulated self-report indices were briefly discussed.
