This study found the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-Revised (ASI-R) has a similar structure across cultures. The ASI-R effectively measures anxiety sensitivity and correlates with psychiatric symptoms and neuroticism.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cross-cultural psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Anxiety sensitivity is a predictor of anxiety disorders.
  • The Anxiety Sensitivity Index-Revised (ASI-R) is a widely used measure.
  • Cross-cultural validation is essential for global applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the factor structure and internal consistency of the ASI-R across six countries.
  • To examine the ASI-R's correlations with psychiatric symptoms and personality in the Netherlands.
  • To assess the cross-cultural generalizability of anxiety sensitivity.

Main Methods:

  • Administered the ASI-R to a large international sample (n=2786).
  • Utilized factor analysis to determine construct structure.

  • Correlated ASI-R scores with psychiatric symptom and personality measures.

    • Main Results:

    • The ASI-R demonstrated a generally consistent factor structure across diverse cultures.
    • Internal consistency of the ASI-R factors was good.
    • ASI-R factors showed moderate to strong correlations with each other, psychiatric symptoms, and neuroticism.

    Conclusions:

    • The ASI-R is a reliable and valid measure of anxiety sensitivity across different cultural contexts.
    • Anxiety sensitivity, as measured by the ASI-R, is associated with psychological distress and personality traits.
    • Findings support the cross-cultural assessment of anxiety sensitivity.
