“…Since then, anxiety sensitivity has been implicated in an increasingly wide range of psychopathology. High levels of anxiety sensitivity have been observed across the anxiety and related disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD; Raines et al, 2014), social anxiety disorder (Ak & Kılıç, 2017), GAD (Deacon & Abramowitz, 2006), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Asmundson & Stapleton, 2008). People who engage in alcohol and drug use (Allan et al, 2015a), self-injurious behaviors (e.g., Allan et al, 2015b), and disordered eating (Anestis et al, 2008) also demonstrate elevated levels of anxiety sensitivity (e.g., Allan et al, 2015a).…”

Aversive reactivity to negative affect has been described as a transdiagnostic mechanism that links distal temperamental vulnerabilities to clinically relevant behaviors. However, the abundance of constructs reflecting aversive reactivity has resulted in a proliferation of models that may ultimately be redundant. We performed a circumscribed review of studies measuring associations between six constructs – anxiety sensitivity, experiential avoidance, distress intolerance, intolerance of uncertainty, thought-action fusion, and negative urgency – and ten relevant coping behaviors. Results suggested that most constructs were measured in relation to a limited number of coping behaviors. Additionally, constructs were most often measured in isolation, rather than with similar constructs. Implications and suggestions for future research and treatment are discussed.
