This study assessed how clinical anxiety, anxiety about aging, and death anxiety related to one another and to intrapersonal functioning. Older adults completed the Geriatric Anxiety Scale, Anxiety About Aging Scale, Death Anxiety Scale-Extended, and Intrapersonal Problems Rating Scale. Clinical anxiety was strongly correlated with anxiety about aging (r = .50) and death anxiety (r = .59), and anxiety about aging and death anxiety were strongly positively correlated with each other (r = .51). Intrapersonal problems were significantly and strongly positively correlated with clinical anxiety (r = .79), anxiety about aging (r = .50), and death anxiety (r = .56). Multiple regression results showed that the three types of anxiety accounted for a large amount of variance in intrapersonal problems. Findings suggest strong comorbidities between diverse forms of anxiety with some unique features. Intrapersonal deficits may be prominent in the presence of diverse forms of anxiety. Screening should consider these relationships.

老年人不同形式的焦虑与内心功能之间的关系。

这项研究评估了临床焦虑、衰老焦虑和死亡焦虑之间的相互关系以及与个人功能之间的关系。老年人完成了老年焦虑量表、衰老焦虑量表、死亡焦虑量表扩展版和个人问题评定量表。临床焦虑与衰老焦虑 (r = .50) 和死亡焦虑 (r = .59) 呈强相关，并且衰老焦虑和死亡焦虑彼此呈强正相关 (r = .51)。个人问题与临床焦虑 (r = .79)、衰老焦虑 (r = .50) 和死亡焦虑 (r = .56) 呈显着且强烈的正相关。多元回归结果表明，三种类型的焦虑在个人问题中造成了很大的差异。研究结果表明，具有某些独特特征的不同形式的焦虑之间存在强烈的共病。在存在各种形式的焦虑时，个人缺陷可能会很突出。筛选应考虑这些关系。
