701 dental-school outpatients rated the degree of fear occasioned by each of 60 events that occur routinely during dental treatment. The 4,206 ratings then were subjected to principal components factor analysis with oblique rotation. Four meaningful factors were deduced: fear of pain and its antecedents, anticipatory fear, fear of negative evaluation, and fear due to perceived absence of control over the dentist. This outcome is compared and contrasted with results of other attempts to delineate the components of dental fear.
701名牙科学校门诊患者对牙科治疗过程中常规发生的60件事所引发的恐惧程度进行了评级。随后，对这4206个评级进行了带有斜交旋转的主成分因子分析。推导出四个有意义的因子：对疼痛及其先兆的恐惧、预期性恐惧、对负面评价的恐惧以及因感觉无法掌控牙医而产生的恐惧。将这一结果与其他描绘牙科恐惧成分的研究结果进行了比较和对比。
