Towards an understanding of anxiety sensitivity in the development of anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Current study proposed the symptom specificity of anxiety sensitivity (AS) on anxiety-specific and general distress symptoms but not on depression-specific symptoms measured by the Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire (MASQ) (Watson & Clark, 1991). Results from the longitudinal study in a Chin...
