We attempted to identify factors differentiating Agoraphobia with Panic Attacks (AG) from Panic Disorder (PD) patients. Twenty-three AG and 27 PD patients were compared. No significant difference in severity of illness was found. As predicted, the groups differed on a measure of anxiety-relevant cognitions developed for this study, the Anxious Thoughts and Tendencies scale (AT&T) (P less than 0.02). We suggest that differences in interpretation of panic attacks account for the development of of phobic avoidance behavior in some but not all PD patients. The intercorrelations among measures suggest that Panic Disorder may be conceptualized as having several independent although related components (panic attacks, general anxiety, phobic anxiety, and cognitive distortions).
我们试图找出区分伴有惊恐发作的广场恐惧症（AG）患者与惊恐障碍（PD）患者的因素。对23名AG患者和27名PD患者进行了比较。未发现疾病严重程度有显著差异。正如所预测的，在为本研究编制的焦虑相关认知量表——焦虑思维与倾向量表（AT&T）上，两组存在差异（P<0.02）。我们认为，惊恐发作解释上的差异导致了部分而非所有PD患者出现恐惧回避行为。各量表之间的相互关联表明，惊恐障碍可被概念化为具有几个独立但相关的成分（惊恐发作、广泛性焦虑、恐惧性焦虑和认知扭曲）。
