The 2
studies used different measures as proxies for the parenting dimensions of warmth and
sensitivity, both with arbitrary cut points to dichotomize the parenting dimensions, so that they could have measured different underlying
constructs.
Here, we aimed to replicate and extend those initial
studies by examining the factor structure,
construct validity, and treatment
sensitivity of the NSPS in samples of community - based participants with a principal diagnosis of social anxiety disorder (SAD), a principal anxiety disorder diagnosis other than SAD, or no history of psychological problems.
