| - | AS is defined as the fear of arousal-related sensations (e.g., fear of heart palpitations), which arise from beliefs that these anxiety-related sensations have harmful consequences ((Reiss, S., Peterson, R.A., Gursky, D.M., & McNally, R.J. (1986). Anxiety sensitivity, anxiety frequency, and the prediction of fearfulness. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 24, 1-8)). Individual differences in AS are hypothesized to emerge from both genetic and maladaptive learning experiences that lead to the acquisition of beliefs about the aversive consequences of arousal and anxiety-related states ((Reiss & Havercamp, 1998))((Stewart et al., 2001)).\\ | + | AS is defined as the fear of arousal-related sensations (e.g., fear of heart palpitations), which arise from beliefs that these anxiety-related sensations have harmful consequences ((Reiss, S., Peterson, R.A., Gursky, D.M., & McNally, R.J.
