Abstract

Background: The Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI-3) is the reference instrument for measuring anxiety sensitivity. The psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the ASI-3 have been examined in university students but not in adults from the general population. Whether the ASI-3 subscales provide relevant information has not yet been examined either.

Method: The ASI-3's factor structure, internal consistency, temporal stability, and relationship with neuroticism were examined in a Spanish community sample of 919 adults.

Results: In two subsamples of participants, the ASI-3 presented a structure of three correlated factors (physical, cognitive, and social concerns) that loaded on a higher-order factor, but the three factors did not explain much item variance. The total scale and subscales of the ASI-3 showed excellent or good indices of internal consistency (alphas and omegas = .81 – .91), and adequate indices of test-retest reliability at two months ( r = .57 – .73) and the relationship with neuroticism and its facets ( r = .19 – .52).

Conclusions: The ASI-3 provides reliable, valid measures of anxiety sensitivity in Spanish adults, but its subscales are not very useful beyond the information provided by the total scale.

西班牙人群焦虑敏感性指数-3 (ASI-3)的心理测量特征。

背景:焦虑敏感性指数-3 (Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3, ASI-3)是衡量焦虑敏感性的参考工具。西班牙语版ASI-3的心理测量特性已经在大学生中进行了测试，但没有在普通人群中的成年人中进行测试。ASI-3量表是否提供了相关信息也尚未得到检验。方法:对西班牙社区919名成人进行ASI-3因子结构、内部一致性、时间稳定性及与神经质的关系分析。结果:在参与者的两个子样本中，ASI-3呈现出三个相关因素(身体、认知和社会关注)的结构，这些因素加载在高阶因素上，但这三个因素并不能解释太多的项目差异。总量表和亚量表的内部一致性指标(alpha和omegas = 0.81 ~ 0.91)为优或良，两个月重测信度指标(r = 0.57 ~ 0.73)和与神经质及其各方面的关系指标(r = 0.19 ~ 0.52)为优或良。结论:ASI-3提供了西班牙成年人焦虑敏感性的可靠、有效的测量方法，但它的亚量表在总量表提供的信息之外并不是很有用。
