“…Results replicated previous findings that IU robustly predicts anxiety symptoms beyond neuroticism (Boelen & Reijntjes, 2009), anxiety sensitivity (Boelen & Reijntjes, 2009;Carleton et al, 2010;Carleton, Sharpe, & Asmundson, 2007;Dugas, Gosselin, & Landouceur, 2001), fear of anxiety (Buhr & Dugas, 2009), metabeliefs about worry (de Bruin, Rassin, & Muris, 2007;Dugas et al, 2007), and positive and negative affectivity . Indeed, IU has been implicated as an important construct for anxiety (Carleton, Sharpe, et al, 2007;Holaway et al, 2006;Suárez et al, 2009;Taylor, 1999) and mood disorders (Boelen, Vrinssen, & van Tulder, 2010;Norton & Mehta, 2007;Norton, Sexton, Walker, & Norton, 2005;Yook, Kim, Suh, & Lee, 2010).…”

“…Only the fear of anxiety, however, predicted unique variance in GAD symptom severity when accounting for the effects of worry and the fear of other emotions. The relationship between fear of anxiety and generalized anxiety symptoms was also revealed in a 5-year prospective cohort study (Dugas et al 2012) and a laboratorybased manipulation of fear of anxiety led to corresponding changes in worry (Buhr and Dugas 2009). These findings may also indicate that fear of anxiety may be causally related to GAD symptoms.…”

Psychological well-being is thought to protect against common mental health problems. This study investigated the buffering effects of psychological well-being on the relationships between cognitive vulnerabilities (fear of anxiety and negative beliefs about worry) and GAD symptoms among 297 Japanese undergraduates (female = 62%, age = 18.91 ± 1.61) in a two-wave prospective cohort study. Participants completed the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire for DSM-IV, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, anxiety control subscale of Affective Control Scale, negative belief about worry subscale of Meta-Cognitions Questionnaire, and Nishida's psychological well-being scale. A moderated regression analysis tested the buffering effect of psychological well-being sub-dimensions on the relationship between cognitive vulnerabilities and generalized anxiety symptoms.

“…Buhr and Dugas (2009) showed that subjects with experimentally elevated fear of anxiety showed higher levels of worry than did subjects whose fear of anxiety was reduced. Moreover, increased fear of anxiety in combination with intolerance of uncertainty produced even higher levels of worry.…”

Animal models of psychiatric disorders are important translational tools for exploring new treatment options and gaining more insight into the disease. Thus far, there is no systematically validated animal model for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), a severely impairing and difficult-to-treat disease. In this review, we propose contextual conditioning (CC) as an animal model for GAD. We argue that this model has sufficient face validity (there are several symptom similarities), predictive validity (it responds to clinically effective treatments), and construct validity (the underlying mechanisms are comparable). Although the refinement and validation of an animal model is a never-ending process, we want to give a concise overview of the currently available evidence. We suggest that the CC model might be a valuable preclinical tool to enhance the development of new treatment strategies and our understanding of GAD.
