Abstract
The Fear Questionnaire is an internationally popular measure in anxiety disorder research, but its validity with social phobia patients has not been clearly demonstrated. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using the Fear Questionnaire responses of 122 social phobia patients. The results indicated that the proposed three-factor model of the scale (agoraphobia, social phobia, and blood/injury dimensions) provided a good fit to the data. These data provide strong support for the validity of the scale and for the multidimensional view of fears proposed by Arrindell.
