In the present study, we investigated the relationships between self-reports of agoraphobic-like anxiety (fear of open, crowded places), panic experiences, childhood separation anxiety, and family interaction patterns in a college student population. The research was conducted in two parts. Correlational analyses of the results of Study 1 revealed significant relationships between anxiety, difficulties in managing life transitions, and measures of family interaction (intergenerational and peer individuation, intergenerational and peer intimacy) as measured by the Personal Authority in the Family System (Questionnaire (Williamson, Bay, Harvey, & Malone, 1985). In Study 2, we observed significant correlations between agoraphobic anxiety and measures of childhood separation anxiety, state and trait anxiety, and patterns of family enmeshment. The results were interpreted in the context of a broad perspective, which includes the role of developmental and interactional variables in the onset and maintenance of agoraphobic anxiety.
在本研究中,我们调查了大学生群体中广场恐怖症样焦虑(害怕开阔、拥挤场所)的自我报告、惊恐体验、童年分离焦虑与家庭互动模式之间的关系。该研究分两部分进行。研究1结果的相关分析显示,焦虑、应对生活转变的困难以及通过家庭系统中的个人权威问卷(威廉姆森、贝伊、哈维 & 马龙,1985年)测量的家庭互动指标(代际和同伴个体化、代际和同伴亲密程度)之间存在显著关系。在研究2中,我们观察到广场恐怖症焦虑与童年分离焦虑指标、状态和特质焦虑以及家庭纠缠模式之间存在显著相关性。研究结果是在一个广泛的视角下进行解读的,其中包括发展和互动变量在广场恐怖症焦虑的发作和维持中的作用。
