The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule (ADIS-IV) were administered to 193 adults at a major Midwestern university recruited from an anxiety research and treatment center. The BAI and its four factor scores were compared from individuals with a primary diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), specific or social phobia, panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and no psychiatric diagnosis. The cut scores on the BAI and its factors, their sensitivity, specificity, as well as positive and negative predictive values were calculated for each group. The results of this study support previous findings that the strongest quality of the BAI is its ability to assess panic symptomatology. The present study also expands on this notion by establishing that the BAI can be used as an efficient screening tool for distinguishing between individuals with and without panic disorder.
贝克焦虑量表（BAI）和焦虑症访谈量表（ADIS-IV）被施用于一所位于中西部的主要大学的193名成年人，这些成年人是从一个焦虑症研究与治疗中心招募而来的。对原发性广泛性焦虑障碍（GAD）、特定或社交恐惧症、伴或不伴有广场恐惧症的惊恐障碍、强迫症（OCD）患者以及无精神疾病诊断的个体的BAI及其四个因子得分进行了比较。计算了每组BAI及其因子的临界分数、敏感性、特异性以及阳性和阴性预测值。本研究结果支持了之前的发现，即BAI最强的特质是其评估惊恐症状的能力。本研究还通过证实BAI可作为区分有无惊恐障碍个体的有效筛查工具，进一步拓展了这一概念。
