Method: The total sample included 152 participants, 52 in the PD/PDA, 45 in the high anxiety sensitivity (AS) sample, and 55 in the nonclinical sample. The participants in PD/PDA sample were evaluated with the structured interview ADIS- IV. The Brief Symptom Inventory and the MCMI-III were used in all three samples. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the PD/PDA and the nonclinical sample in all MCMI-III scales except for antisocial and compulsive. No significant differences were found between PD/PDA and the sample with high scores in AS. Phobic Anxiety and Paranoid Ideation were the only scales where there were significant differences between the PD/PDA sample and the high AS sample. Conclusions: Our findings showed that people who scored high on AS, despite not having a diagnosis of PD/PDA, were similar in regard to psychopathology features and personality to individuals with PD/PDA.2014http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/5852610.7334/psicothema2013.248http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/58526oai:zaguan.unizar.es:58526info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/PSI2010-21423-PSICPSICOTHEMA 26, 2 (2014), 159-165byhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
