摘要
The literature on the assessment of anxiety sensitivity (AS) in children and adolescents is reviewed. Following a discussion of theoretical and developmental issues relevant to AS and anxiety disorders, the construct validity of measures of childhood AS is reviewed using J. Loevinger's (1957) threefold framework. The collective evidence suggests mixed support at present for the validity of the clinical assessment of AS in youths, owing to (a) a limited number of adequate measures, (b) insufficient data on construct validity, and (c) a deficiency of knowledge regarding the potential influence of developmental factors on AS and anxiety disorders. Limitations of the literature are summarized, and suggestions for future research are provided.
