Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Personality Psychology
  • Anxiety Research

Background:

  • Anxiety sensitivity is a key factor in anxiety disorders.
  • Understanding personality correlates of anxiety sensitivity can inform prevention and intervention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between psychological type, as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and anxiety sensitivity.

Main Methods:

  • 143 undergraduate students completed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI).
  • Statistical analyses were performed to compare ASI scores across different MBTI dichotomies (Extraversion/Introversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, Judging/Perceiving).

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in anxiety sensitivity were found between Extraverts and Introverts.

  • Sensing types reported significantly higher anxiety sensitivity scores compared to Intuitive types.
  • Thinking types reported significantly higher anxiety sensitivity scores compared to Feeling types.

    • Conclusions:

    • Specific psychological type preferences, particularly Sensing and Thinking, are associated with higher anxiety sensitivity.
    • These findings suggest that MBTI type may offer insights into an individual's predisposition to anxiety sensitivity.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the clinical implications of these associations.
