Abstract
Recent investigations of the aetiology and treatment of specific phobias have focussed on clarifying the concerns underlying phobic anxiety. It has been proposed that claustrophobic fear is comprised of separable confinement and suffocation components. This paper presents data from 78 general medical outpatients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans in two major teaching hospitals. The findings support the two factor structure of claustrophobia, in that exposure to confinement reduced confinement subscale scores, but did not influence suffocation scores.
