Latent structure of anxiety: Taxometric exploration
Article Abstract:
Taxometric analyses, MAXCOV and MAXEIG were conducted in a large nonclinical sample to determine whether extreme anxiety forms a distinct psychopathological category, an anxiety taxon. Examination of the taxon's convergent and discriminant validity revealed that it reflects general distress rather than physiological arousal and taxon membership showed some evidence of incremental validity.
