Recent investigations of the aetiology and treatment of specific phobias have focused on clarifying the concerns underlying phobic anxiety. It has been proposed that claustrophobic fear is comprised of separable confinement and suffocation components. This paper presents data from 78 general medical outpatients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans in two major teaching hospitals. The findings support the two factor structure of claustrophobia, in that exposure to confinement reduced confinement subscale scores, but did not influence suffocation scores.
近期针对特定恐惧症病因及治疗的研究聚焦于阐明恐惧焦虑背后的相关问题。有人提出幽闭恐惧症由可分离的受限和窒息成分构成。本文呈现了在两家大型教学医院接受磁共振成像（MRI）扫描的78名普通内科门诊患者的数据。研究结果支持幽闭恐惧症的双因素结构，即暴露于受限环境会降低受限分量表得分，但不影响窒息得分。
