Two studies with college student participants (n's=262, 239) examined the relation between perceptions of threat (i.e., perceptions of the probabilities and costs of future undesirable outcomes) and: (a) worry; and (b) hypothesized antecedents of perceived threat. In both studies, higher levels of worrying were associated with higher perceived probability and cost. In Study 2, the association between perceived threat and worrying remained even when taking into account maladaptive worry beliefs and the desire for predictability; in fact, the relation between worrying and worry beliefs and desire for predictability were moderated by perceptions of threat. Higher levels of perceived probability were associated with perceiving oneself and others less favorably, whereas higher levels of perceived cost were associated with higher standards.
两项以大学生为参与者的研究（样本量分别为262人和239人）考察了威胁感知（即对未来不良结果的概率和代价的感知）与以下方面的关系：（a）担忧；以及（b）感知威胁的假设前因。在两项研究中，较高程度的担忧都与较高的感知概率和代价相关。在研究2中，即使考虑到适应不良的担忧信念和对可预测性的渴望，感知威胁与担忧之间的关联依然存在；事实上，担忧与担忧信念以及对可预测性的渴望之间的关系受到威胁感知的调节。较高的感知概率与对自己和他人的评价较低相关，而较高的感知代价则与较高的标准相关。
