“…Examining risk-related processes relevant to PTSD within a rural sample is particularly important from a public health perspective in light of the significantly higher rates of anxiety and depression within this population as compared to urban populations (Beck, Jijon, & Edwards, 1996;Muntaner & Barnett, 2000). The inclusionary criterion for participation was having experienced at least one traumatic event, as indexed by the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale (PDS; Foa, 1995).…”

The present study tested if the global anxiety sensitivity construct and its constituent factors (i.e., physical, mental incapacitation, and social concerns) moderate the relation between traumatic event exposure frequency and posttraumatic stress symptomatology. Participants were 61 rural young adults who reported experiencing at least 1 lifetime traumatic event. Consistent with prediction, anxiety sensitivity total and subfactor levels moderated the relation between trauma exposure frequency and posttraumatic stress symptomatology. These moderating effects were above and beyond variance accounted for by the respective anxiety sensitivity and stress main effects as well as other theoretically relevant factors (e.g., negative affectivity). Findings are discussed in relation to better understanding cognitive-based individual difference factors associated with posttraumatic stress symptomatology.

“…Young adults from a rural area were studied because of the high rates of trauma and emotional vulnerability found in this population (Beck, Jijon, & Edwards, 1996;Muntaner & Barnett, 2000). In terms of ethnicity, 85.2% of participants were Caucasian, 6.1% African American, 3.6% Asian American, 1.5% Hispanic, 2.7% other, and the remainder did not specify their ethnicity.…”

This study evaluated the anxiety sensitivity taxon using the 16-item Anxiety Sensitivity Index in relation to 2 criteria relevant to post-traumatic stress disorder; post-traumatic stress disorder symptom severity as indexed by the Post-Traumatic Diagnostic Scale, and post-traumatic cognitions as indexed by the Post-Traumatic Cognitions Inventory. Taxometric analyses of data collected from 331 young adults indicated that the latent structure of anxiety sensitivity was taxonic with an estimated base-rate range of 11-12%. As predicted, an 8-item Anxiety Sensitivity Index Taxon Scale accounted for significant variance above and beyond that accounted for by negative affectivity and the full-scale Anxiety Sensitivity Index total score in terms of both criteria. Moreover, after accounting for variance explained by the full-scale Anxiety Sensitivity Index total score and negative affectivity, the sum score for the 8 Anxiety Sensitivity Index items not included in the Anxiety Sensitivity Index Taxon Scale was associated with significant variance in these same dependent measures, but the relation was in the opposite direction to that predicted by theory. These findings are discussed in terms of theoretical and clinical implications for the study of anxiety sensitivity and post-traumatic stress disorder vulnerability.

“…Young adults from a rural area, a historically understudied segment of the population, were studied because of the high rates of trauma and emotional vulnerability found in this group of individuals [Beck et al, 1996;Muntaner and Barnett, 2000]. It was hypothesized that the interaction between the AS taxon and a number of trauma-type exposures would predict posttraumatic stress symptom severity and posttraumatic-related thoughts and beliefs.…”

Anxiety sensitivity taxon and trauma: discriminant associations for posttraumatic stress and panic symptomatology among young adults

The present investigation examined whether the anxiety sensitivity (AS) taxon interacts with theoretically relevant traumatic types of aversive life events to show discriminant (concurrent) associations with posttraumatic stress symptoms, but not panic attacks or bodily vigilance among young adults. The interaction between the AS Taxon Scale and trauma exposure accounted for significant variance above and beyond negative affectivity and each of the main effects in terms of a posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom-severity criterion variable, but not for posttraumatic-related thoughts and beliefs or either panic-relevant criterion variable. Thus, results suggest that although the AS taxon may function as a common cognitive diathesis for PTSD and panic outcomes, the AS taxon coupled with traumatic life events may confer emotional vulnerability that is specific to PTSD symptoms. These findings are discussed in terms of theoretical and clinical implications for PTSD and panic vulnerability.
