Abstract
The distinctiveness of the fear profiles of three types of phobia was examined. Responses of 80 agoraphobics, 25 social phobics, and 35 specific phobics to Wolpe's Fear Survey Schedule were submitted to a discriminant function analysis. Two highly significant functions emerged, reclassifying three types of phobias with an average accuracy rate of fully 97%, almost perfectly matching the diagnosis made independently in a clinical interview. Agora-, social, and specific phobic fear profiles may now be added to age of onset and sex preponderance as distinctive features.
