The results were found to be similar with regards to the scales of RCMAS (a 37 item measure), STAIC (for the 20 item state scale measure only), CDI (a 27 item measure) and FSSC-R (an 80 item measure). The trait scale of STAIC showed a few variations but was not strong enough when the Bonferroni correction was applied. The CASI scale presented a higher occurrence in the second group compared to the first, regardless of Bonferroni corrections. This amounted to at least 16 of the 18 items. The remaining two items, recorded higher in the second group can be considered to be of an external nature. The origins of these differences were obtained using t-test analysis methods (Kearney, Albano, Eisen, Allan & Barlow, 1997)
Conclusions of the research
The conclusions drawn from the study participants with panic disorder revealed nausea, shivering, difficulties in breathing and increased heart rate as the recurring symptoms. These results match the studies in the past such as those conducted by Kearney & Allan in 1995 and Kearney & Silverman in 1992. Most of the locations avoided as a part of the study (such as stores, restaurants etc.) had groups of people involved. This tendency however cannot be considered to be extreme. The results complied with the theory which considered young individuals to have a greater chance of developing depression when they have panic disorder compared to when they don't. They did not meet the terms of the theory which states panic disorder patients to have a greater chance of developing separation anxiety or substance use disorders. CDI measures did not demonstrate any dissimilarity between the two groups. No verifiable disparities were observed with regards to fearfulness or specific anxiety, except a slightly higher occurrence in individuals with panic disorder. They demonstrated a greater apprehension over physical difficulties such as breathing problems. Some recommendations could be offered as a result of the outcomes of this study. Practitioners responsible for treating these patients can apply cognitive therapy along with the traditional methods. Pharmacotherapy can be essential to related issues such as cognitive deformations, depression tendencies, and somatic objections...
DSM IV Disorders DSM IV-TR - Anxiety, Somatoform, and Dissociative Disorders American Psychological Association has compiled and published DSM IV-TR, which is a diagnostic manual of mental disorders.

dysfunctional behavior that strikes 1 out of 40 or 50 adults and 1 out of 100 children or 2-3% of any population. It can begin at any age, although most commonly in adolescence or early adulthood - from ages 6 to 15 in boys and between 20 and 30 in women -- according to the National Institute for Mental Health. This behavioral affliction is, therefore, more common than schizophrenia

In the long-term, empirical evidence suggests that as many as 80% of young adults abused in childhood meet the formal diagnostic criteria for at least one psychiatric disorder by the age of 21, including some of the most serious such as clinical depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and suicidal inclinations (Silverman, Reinherz, & Giaconia, 1996). The full spectrum of psychological disorders to which adult victims of childhood abuse are typically prone
IQ Discrimination The concept of general ability or intelligence has in the past been the most important single way of accounting for individual differences.

Early assessments of IQ were done in France by Alfred Binet in 1905, as part
