The Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI-3; Taylor et al., 2007) is a self-report assessment of anxiety sensitivity, reflecting an individual's tendency to misinterpret the meaning of anxiety-relevant sensations. Despite this construct being related to a wide array of clinically significant smoking maintenance and relapse processes, the psychometric properties of scores on the ASI-3 have not yet been investigated for use among smokers. Therefore, the current study aimed to test the psychometric properties of the scores on the ASI-3 in a sample of cigarette smokers. Participants were treatment-seeking daily smokers who completed the ASI-3 at a precessation visit (Time 1, N = 464) and 3 months postcessation attempt (Time 2, n = 137). Confirmatory factor analyses results of the scores on ASI-3 at Time 1 and Time 2 revealed the hypothesized 3-factor model, including physical, social, and cognitive concerns. In addition, the ASI-3 factor scores evidenced factor stability, test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and convergent, and discriminant, and predictive validity. The present study provides evidence in support of the validity and reliability of scores on the ASI-3 as a measure of anxiety sensitivity among treatment-seeking cigarette smokers.
焦虑敏感性指数-3（ASI-3；泰勒等人，2007年）是一种对焦虑敏感性的自我报告评估，反映了个体误解与焦虑相关感觉含义的倾向。尽管这一构念与一系列具有临床意义的吸烟维持和复发过程相关，但ASI-3得分的心理测量特性尚未在吸烟者中进行研究。因此，本研究旨在测试吸烟者样本中ASI-3得分的心理测量特性。参与者是寻求治疗的每日吸烟者，他们在戒烟前访视时（时间1，N = 464）和戒烟尝试后3个月（时间2，n = 137）完成了ASI-3。对时间1和时间2的ASI-3得分进行的验证性因素分析结果显示了假设的三因素模型，包括身体、社交和认知方面的担忧。此外，ASI-3因素得分证明了因素稳定性、重测信度、内部一致性以及收敛效度、区分效度和预测效度。本研究提供了证据，支持ASI-3得分作为寻求治疗的吸烟者焦虑敏感性测量指标的有效性和可靠性。
