Correlational analyses were conducted among the entire sample
and separately for both groups. Of main interest were the correlations
between the EAST effects (i.e., the two difference scores for
the two target types) and the clinical self-report measures among
panic patients. However, among the group of panic patients, analyses
revealed a significant correlation only between agoraphobic
situations and the STAI-T, r ¼ .38, p < .01, indicating that less
positive associations towards agoraphobic situations were related
to higher trait anxiety (for a complete overview, see Table 3).
