“…The Cognitive Concerns dimension had the highest correlation with depression and trait anxiety measures, despite correlations with these constructs were moderate for all the ASI-3 dimensions. In addition, the authors assessed known-groups validity, and reported that patients with PD had higher levels on the Physical Concerns dimension compared to patients with other anxiety disorders or those with disorders other than anxiety [10]. However, in this study patients with a diagnosis of other anxiety disorders (eg, SPh, GAD) were undersampled, and this limitation prevented to test for differences on the ASI-3 dimension scores between those disorders.…”

“…In a large clinical sample [10], the Physical Concerns dimension showed the highest correlation (moderate) with scales of body vigilance compared to the other dimensions. The Social Concerns dimension showed the highest correlation with a measure of fear of negative evaluation, and the correlation was moderate also for the Cognitive Concerns dimension.…”

The Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI-3) is an 18-item measure, recently developed to assess AS, based, consisting of Physical Concerns (eg, the belief that palpitations lead to a cardiac arrest), Social Concerns (eg, the belief that publicly observable anxiety reactions will elicit social refusal), and Cognitive Concerns (eg, the belief that cognitive difficulties lead to insanity). In the Italian context there is a lack of a validated measure of AS, to date.The current study assessed factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Italian ASI-3 in large community and clinical samples. The Italian ASI-3, the Beck Depression Inventory-II, and the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory-trait subscale were administered to 547 community individuals and 146 patients with a primary panic disorder (PD) (n= 30), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) (n= 33), social phobia (SPh) (n= 25), or psychosis (PSY) (n= 28). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the three dimensions of AS in the community sample. All the ASI-3 dimensions showed good to excellent internal consistency, and moderate correlations with depression and trait anxiety measures. Physical Concerns discriminated PD patients from community individuals and the other clinical groups. Social Concerns discriminated SPh patients from community individuals and the other clinical groups. Patients with anxiety disorders had comparable scores on Cognitive Concerns and higher than community individuals. Patients with GAD endorsed higher scores than patients with PSY, specifically. Theoretical explanations, implication for research, and limitations are discussed.

“…The significant role of anxiety sensitivity in anxiety pathology becomes apparent by comparing anxiety sensitivity scores between persons with different clinical symptom or between patients with versus without symptom [57]. Wheaton, Deacon, McGrath, Berman, and Abramowitz [58] observed that physical, social, and cognitive concerns subscale scores of patients with any anxiety disorder had significantly higher scores than controls.…”

This study aims to examine the relationships between subdimensions of anxiety sensitivity and anxiety. The participants in the study were 841undergraduate students (411 females; 430 males) randomly selected from three different faculties -Faculties of Technical Education, Education, and Sport Sciences-at Mugla Sıtkı Kocman University. Data collection instruments included the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-Revised, (ASI-R), and also Beck Anxiety Inventory, (BAI). The data were analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation analysis and structural equation modeling. The results indicate that there were significant positive associations between subdimensions of anxiety sensitivity and anxiety. The results also indicated that the fear of cognitive dyscontrol subdimension of anxiety sensitivity was the most important predictor of the anxiety for emerging adults. Further research examining the relationships between subdimensions of anxiety sensitivity and anxiety are necessary to strengthen the current study's findings.

“…Allan i saradnici (Allan, Capron, Raines, & Schmidt, 2014) sugerišu da faktori nižeg reda ostvaruju značajne relacije sa širokim spektrom poremećaja, dok najčešće replicirani nalazi upućuju na pozitivnu povezanost ZFF i paničnog poremećaja, ZKF i depresivne simptomatologije i ZSS i straha od socijalne evaluacije i socijalne anksioznosti (Kemper, Bähr, Rüddel, & Hock, 2012;Olthuis, Watt, & Stewart, 2014;Osman et al, 2010;Taylor et al, 2007).…”

“…Da je ovakva upotreba specifičnih skorova potencijalno opravdana, govore i nalazi prethodnih studija (npr. Kemper et al, 2012;Olthuis et al, 2014;Osman et al, 2010;Wheaton et al, 2012). Kako bi se ova pretpostavka dodatno ispitala, bilo bi korisno u nekom od narednih istraživanja povećati broj stavki unutar subdomena da bi se, kako verujemo, povećala relijabilnost S faktora.…”

Osnovni cilj ovog rada je provera validnosti i psihometrijskih karakteristika Indeksa senzitivnosti na simptome anksioznosti (ASI-3), na srpskom uzorku ispitanika iz opšte populacije. Uzorak je činilo 553 ispitanika starosti 18 do 60 godina, pri čemu je bilo više ispitanika ženskog pola (82.1%). Rezultati konfirmativne faktorske analize (CFA) ukazuju da bifaktorski model, sa jednim generalnim faktorom opšte senzitivnosti na simptome anksioznosti i tri specifična faktora -zabrinutost za fizičko funkcionisanje, zabrinutost za kognitivno funkcionisanje i zabrinutost u socijalnim situacijama, ima najbolji fit. Rezultati analiza baziranih na teoriji odgovora na stavke (IRT: 2PL model) ukazuju na to da je ASI-3 relativno težak, odnosno da je prilagođen ispitanicima sa prosečnim i natprosečnim nivoom latentne osobine. Na osnovu rezultata baziranih na korelaciono-regresionim analizama donet je zaključak o dobroj konvergentnoj, divergentnoj i inkrementalnoj validnosti upitnika ASI-3. IRT analizama je identifikovana grupa od pet problematičnih stavki (niski parametri informativnosti i diskriminativnosti kao i visoki parametri težine) i razmotrena je njihova potencijalna primena u kliničkoj praksi. Konačno, generalni faktor opšte senzitivnosti na simptome anksioznosti, a u manjoj meri i specifični faktori imaju potencijal u objašnjavanju dodatne varijanse spoljnih kriterijuma povrh koncepta anksioznosti iz domena revidirane teorije osetljivosti na potkrepljenje, što ukazuje na inkrementalnu validnosti upitnika ASI-3. Ponuđene su kliničke i istraživačke implikacije.Ključne reči: senzitivnost na anksioznost, ASI-3, bifaktorski model, konfirmatorna faktorska analiza (CFA), teorija odgovora na stavke (IRT) 2 Rad je nastao u okviru projekta Ministarstva prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja (179006).
