The objectives of this study are three-fold. The first objective is to present the aspects of reliability and validity of a self-reported questionnaire that evaluates a specific facet of Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia (PDA) for the francophone population of Quebec, mainly the fear of fear. The Body Sensations Questionnaire (17), translated as the Questionnaire des Sensations Physiques (QSP) evaluates the degree to which individuals fear somatic symptoms commonly associated with panic. A second objective is to determine the factorial validity of the QSP and to investigate the dimensionality of the construct as assessed by the questionnaire. The third objective is to establish a reference database for the agoraphobic (N = 141 and N = 70) and the non-clinical population (N = 223). Results suggest that both questionnaires have similar internal consistency, temporal stability, construct validity, and discriminative validity. While the factorial solution of the present study uncovered a three-factor model (somatic, cardiac, and psychosensorial), which points to the multidimensional nature of the construct evaluated by the QSP, it greatly differs from the one obtained by Arrindel's study (5). Nevertheless, the extraction of the three principal components is supported by the results of the screen test and by two different implementations of parallel analysis, i.e., the computation of random eigen values and the use of an interpolation table of eigen values. Finally, it can be concluded that the psychometric properties of the French-Canadian translation of the BSQ are indications that it is an appropriate instrument to use in clinical research and in clinical practice to assess the fear of bodily sensations associated with the fear of fear.
本研究有三个目标。第一个目标是介绍一份自我报告问卷的信度和效度方面，该问卷用于评估魁北克法语区人群中广场恐怖症伴惊恐障碍（PDA）的一个特定方面，主要是对恐惧的恐惧。身体感觉问卷（17），翻译为身体感觉问卷（QSP），评估个体对通常与惊恐相关的躯体症状的恐惧程度。第二个目标是确定QSP的因子效度，并调查该问卷所评估结构的维度。第三个目标是为广场恐怖症患者（N = 141和N = 70）和非临床人群（N = 223）建立一个参考数据库。结果表明，两份问卷在内部一致性、时间稳定性、结构效度和区分效度方面相似。虽然本研究的因子分析得出了一个三因素模型（躯体、心脏和心理感觉），这表明QSP所评估结构具有多维性质，但它与Arrindel研究（5）得到的模型有很大不同。然而，通过屏幕测试结果以及平行分析的两种不同实现方式，即随机特征值的计算和特征值插值表的使用，支持了三个主成分的提取。最后，可以得出结论，BSQ法裔加拿大语翻译版的心理测量特性表明，它是临床研究和临床实践中评估与恐惧相关的身体感觉恐惧的合适工具。
