Research studies focusing on separation anxiety and its relation with other measures of anxiety and personality-relevant variables in community samples are still scarce. This study aimed to describe in a dimensional perspective the relationship between separation anxiety symptoms, anxiety levels, and personality traits in a community sample of Italian emerging adults. A sample of 260 college students [mean age (M)=21.22, standard deviation (SD)=1.91, 79.6% females] completed the adult separation anxiety questionnaire-27 (ASA-27), the state and trait anxiety inventory-Y (STAI-Y), and the personality assessment inventory borderline scale (PAI-BOR). ASA-27 was significantly and positively correlated with the PAI borderline scale. The mediation model showed that ASA-27 influenced the PAI-BOR through trait anxiety. Clinical implications of the study for psychotherapy research are discussed.
针对社区样本中分离焦虑及其与焦虑和个性相关变量的其他测量指标之间关系的研究仍然很少。本研究旨在从维度角度描述意大利新兴成年人社区样本中分离焦虑症状、焦虑水平和人格特质之间的关系。260名大学生样本(平均年龄[M]=21.22,标准差[SD]=1.91,79.6%为女性)完成了成人分离焦虑问卷-27(ASA-27)、状态-特质焦虑量表-Y(STAI-Y)和人格评估量表边缘性量表(PAI-BOR)。ASA-27与PAI边缘性量表显著正相关。中介模型表明,ASA-27通过特质焦虑影响PAI-BOR。讨论了该研究对心理治疗研究的临床意义。
