To make a dimensional assessment of personality in individuals with pathological anxiety, the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ) was administered to 32 patients with panic disorder (PD) and 49 patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The most striking findings were a substantially increased score on the harm avoidance dimension in both groups of patients, and a lack of significant differences between the TPQ scores in patients with PD and GAD. The former finding suggests that higher levels of harm avoidance may be common to (although not necessarily specific for) various types of anxiety disorders. The latter finding is in agreement with the findings that PD and GAD do not differ significantly with respect to the associated personality disorder diagnoses, which may further cast a doubt on the validity of the distinction between PD and GAD.
为了对患有病理性焦虑的个体进行人格维度评估，对32名惊恐障碍（PD）患者和49名广泛性广泛性="广泛性焦虑障碍（GAD）患者施测了三维人格问卷（TPQ）。最显著的发现是，两组患者在伤害回避维度上的得分大幅提高，并且PD患者和GAD患者的TPQ得分之间没有显著差异。前一个发现表明，较高水平的伤害回避可能是各种类型焦虑障碍所共有的（尽管不一定是特定的）。后一个发现与以下研究结果一致，即PD和GAD在相关人格障碍诊断方面没有显著差异，这可能会进一步质疑PD和GAD之间区分的有效性。
