Current evidence indicates that anxiety responses may be multifaceted. To assess separately cognitive and somatic components of trait anxiety, Schwartz et al. (1978) devised the CSAQ, but provided no psychometric evidence that the CSAQ effectively differentiates between such dimensions. To explore the CSAQ's dimensional structure, responses from 100 subjects were factor analysed. Oblique rotation yielded a predominantly somatic, an exclusively cognitive and a minor somatic factor. Specification of two factors for rotation yielded an oblique pattern corresponding predominantly with the somatic and exclusively with most of the cognitive items of the CSAQ. These results are consistent with the Schwartz et al. multiprocess model.
Delmonte et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
