 ===== Background and validation =====
-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)).\\

 Taylor and colleagues developed the ASI-3 in order to assess the basic dimensions of anxiety sensitivity: (1) fear of physical symptoms, (2) fear of cognitive symptoms, and (3) fear of publicly observable symptoms

 The validity and reliability of the 16-item ASI was tested in the general population ((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)) and more recently in a population of Dutch young adults ((Vujanovic et al. 2007, Assessment 14(2); 129-143)).\\
-There is a long list of papers describing the links between a high ASI-score and the development of disorders such as phobia and panic disorders, amongst others. A recent book by Steven Taylor ((Anxiety Sensitivity: Theory, Research, and Treatment of the Fear of Anxiety (Personality and Clinical Psychology Series), 2014)) gives a thorough overview.\\
