Table 1 shows the two factor solution loadings for the EFAs using 12-month and lifetime diagnoses in the full sample as well as the random halves. Factor loadings larger than 0.40 were used to determine which diagnoses were representative of the factors. In all cases, the factor structures were very stable in finding one factor that included major depression, dysthymia, generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder and another factor that included agoraphobia, social phobia and simple phobia. Because of the high similarity of the resulting factor structures to those identified by Krueger and Markon (2006), we retained the factor labels used by these researchers (i.e., “Distress” and “Fear” respectively).
