Three self-rating personality inventories were administered to 33 patients who had recovered from panic disorder associated with agoraphobia and to 33 healthy subjects matched for sociodemographic variables. The personality inventories comprised the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ), which provides three major dimensions (novelty seeking, harm avoidance and reward dependence), the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI) and the Emotional Inhibition Scale (EIS). Agoraphobic patients reported significantly more TPQ harm avoidance and anxiety sensitivity than controls. Although these findings might have been influenced by residual anxiety symptoms in panic-free patients and could also apply to patients with other anxiety disorders, they suggest that harm avoidance and anxiety sensitivity may be risk factors for developing agoraphobia and panic disorder. There may be overlap between this characterologic cluster and prodromal symptoms of panic disorder with agoraphobia, such as anxiety, phobias and hypochondriasis.
