A 24-item test was devised to study the degree of understanding a group of agoraphobics had of the etiology and behavioral treatment of their symptoms before and after treatment, whether understanding was related to mode of symptom acquisition and, finally, if increase in understanding was related to treatment outcome. Clients were found to be ill-informed in areas most directly related to realistic exposure strategies, but there was no difference between those who had conditioning as opposed to cognitive acquisition histories. Changes in understanding were found to be related to outcome measures.
设计了一项包含24个项目的测试，以研究一组广场恐惧症患者在治疗前后对其症状的病因和行为治疗的理解程度，理解是否与症状习得方式有关，以及最后理解的增加是否与治疗结果有关。结果发现，患者在与现实暴露策略最直接相关的领域了解不足，但有条件作用史与有认知习得史的患者之间没有差异。研究发现理解的变化与结果指标有关。
