TL;DR: The authors developed and evaluated a measure called the Dimensional Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (DOCS) to address limitations of existing OC symptom measures and hold promise as a measure of OC symptoms in clinical and research settings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the psychological processes associated with swine-flu related anxiety during the H1N1 influenza pandemic of 2009-2010 and found that health anxiety, contamination fears and disgust sensitivity were significant predictors of swine flu related anxiety.

TL;DR: The ASI-3 demonstrated a stable 3-factor structure and sound psychometric properties, with the three factors showing theoretically consistent patterns of associations with anxiety symptoms and diagnoses.

TL;DR: Examination of the relationship between OCD symptom dimensions and dysfunctional (obsessive) beliefs believed to underlie these symptom dimensions using a large clinical sample of treatment-seeking adults with OCD revealed that certain obsessive beliefs predicted certain OCD symptoms in a manner consistent with cognitive-behavioral conceptual models.

TL;DR: Examination of independent contributions of EA and AS in the prediction of anxiety symptoms in a sample of 42 adults with DSM-IV anxiety disorders indicated that the Physical Concerns dimension of AS predicted anxiety symptom severity independently of EA.
