Accumulating evidence suggests that anxiety sensitivity (fear of arousal-related sensations) plays an important role in many clinical conditions, particularly disorders. Research has increasingly focused on how the basic dimensions are related to various forms psychopathology. Such work been hampered because original measure--the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI)--was not designed be multidimensional. Subsequently developed multidimensional measures have unstable factor structures or measure...
Many researchers have proposed a minimum ratio of observations to variables or an absolute in order obtain stable factor config urations. However, hardly any empirical studies em ploying real data are available that attest the tena bility these proposals. A systematic analysis problem was undertaken, using self-report from two large phobic samples on Fear Survey Sched ule-III (N = 1104) and Questionnaire ( N 960). The sets were randomly split into subsam ples with ratios varying 1.3:1...
Summary The perceived parental rearing practices and attitudes of social phobics, agoraphobics, height phobics non-patient normal controls were investigated, employing the EMBU, an inventory for assessing memories upbringing. Findings revealed that, as compared with controls, scored both parents not only lacking in emotional warmth, but also having been rejective overprotective. Agoraphobics reported lacked their mothers being rejecting. Interestingly, perception negative appeared to be...
ABSTRACT ‐ The EMBU, an instrument which was designed to assess one's memories of parental rearing behaviour, psychometrically evaluated. Principal component factor analysis data a mixed sample 841 non‐institutionalized phobic individuals revealed four factors were termed Rejection, Emotional warmth, Over‐protection and Favouring subject, thereby contributing the convergent (cross‐national) reliability validity structural model perceived behaviour. Besides utilization from aforementioned...
This study was designed to assess the level of psychological distress in a heterogeneous group patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and compare them general population psychiatric outpatients. A total 118 COPD, random sample 500 subjects from outpatients participated this study. The Dutch version Symptom Checklist-90-Revised used distress. COPD experienced significantly more than less Furthermore, no significant association found between severity distress, although...
Most of the available data on dimensional structure underlying EMBU - an originally Swedish measure designed to assess one's recollections concerning parents' rearing behaviour has been obtained with adults or adolescents. In present study, using exploratory factor analysis, attempt was made determine factorial in a Spanish sample children aged 7-12 years (N=205). Four factors explaining only 24% and 25% total variance ratings fathers those mothers, respectively, being invariant across...
Four groups of depressed patients 47 unipolars, 21 bipolars, 34 with neurotic-reactive depression, and 39 unspecified depressive disorder completed, after recovery, the EMBU, a Swedish instrument aimed at assessing experience parental rearing practices. The results for three factors: “rejection”, “emotional warmth” “over-protection” global judgement scores “severity” “consistency” in attitudes were compared those obtained from 205 healthy individuals. Depressed patients, particularly...
The present investigation examined the factor structure, internal consistency, and construct validity of 16-item Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI; Reiss Peterson, Gursky, & McNally 1986) in a young adult sample (n = 420) from Netherlands. Confirmatory analysis was used to comparatively evaluate two-factor, three-factor, four-factor models anxiety sensitivity construct. Support found for hierarchical structure sensitivity, with one global higher-order four lower-order factors. Internal...
