The psychometric properties of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) were evaluated in two studies using large clinical samples (N = 437 and N 241). In Study 1, three scales comprising DASS shown to have excellent internal consistency temporal stability. An exploratory factor analysis (principal components extraction with varimax rotation) yielded a solution that was highly consistent structure previously found nonclinical samples. Between-groups comparisons indicated distinguished...
Using outpatients with anxiety and mood disorders (N = 350), the authors tested several models of structural relationships dimensions key features selected emotional tripartite model depression. Results supported discriminant validity 5 symptom domains examined (mood disorders: generalized disorder, GAD; panic disorder; obsessive-compulsive social phobia). Of various evaluated, best fitting involved a structure consistent (e.g., higher order factors, negative affect positive affect,...

A little used and often confused design, capable of comparing two treatments within a single subject, has been termed, variously, multielement baseline multiple schedule randomization design. The background these terms is reviewed, new, more descriptive term, Alternating Treatments Design, proposed. Critical differences between this design Simultaneous Treatment Design are outlined, experimental questions answerable by each noted. Potential problems with treatment interference in procedure...
Boston University The Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI) is one of the most widely used measures construct anxiety sensitivity. Until recent introduction a hierarchical model ASI by S. Lilienfeld, Turner, and Jacob (1993), factor structure was subject debate, with some researchers advocating unidimensional others proposing multidimensional structures. In present study, involving 432 outpatients seeking treatment at an disorders clinic 32 participants no mental disorder, authors tested model....
The present study investigated perceived acceptability and suppression of negative emotion in participants with anxiety mood disorders. Sixty these disorders 30 control watched an emotion-provoking film completed self-report measures their experience regulation emotions. elicited similar increases for clinical nonclinical participants; however, judged resulting emotions as less acceptable suppressed to a greater extent. higher level the group was attributable females suppressing more than...
