Popis:	The purpose of this study was to validate the Reiss-Epstein-Gursky Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI) as a measure of the fear of anxiety. College students were asked to respond to two questions about the experience of anxiety and to two questions about anxiety-irrelevant topics. Mahl's speech disturbance ratio, a valid and unobtrusive indicator of anxiety, served as the primary dependent measure. Compared with the Low ASI Group, the High ASI Group showed more anxiety to anxiety-relevant than anxiety-irrelevant questions. The findings provide some behavioral evidence of the validity of the ASI as a measure of the fear of anxiety.
