Note. 1F = one-factor model: GF = general factor of anxiety (items 1–21). Correlated-factor models: two-factor: F1 = somatic symptoms with 14 indicators (items 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19, 20 and 21) and F2 = cognitive symptoms with seven indicators (items 4, 5, 9, 10, 14. 16 and 17). three-factors: F1 = somatic symptoms with 11 indicators (items 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20 and 21), F2 = subjective symptoms with six indicators (items 4, 5, 9, 10, 14 and 17) and F3 = panic symptoms with four indicators (items 7, 11, 15 and 16). four-factors: F1 = neurophysiological symptoms with seven indicators (items 1, 3, 6, 8, 12, 13 and 19), F2 = subjective symptoms with six indicators (items 4, 5, 9, 10, 14 and 17), F3 = panic symptoms with four indicators (items 7, 11, 15 and 16) and F4 = autonomic symptoms with four indicators (items 2, 18, 20 and 21). Method: maximum likelihood method. Sample size (n) = 455.
