GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ASI-3-PT measures anxiety sensitivity (index of an individual’s proneness to develop anxiety and mood disorders), that is composed by 18 items scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale, ranging from 0 (very little) to 4 (very much). The items are organized into three subscales—cognitive concerns, social concerns, and physical concerns—and a Global Index.
