  abstract: The relationship between subjective anxiety and anxiety sensitivity, felt control and dispositional (monitoring and blunting) coping styles during endodontic dental treatments was investigated. The transactionalcognitive appraisal model of coping process (Folkman & Lazarus, 1984), an expectancy model of fear (Reiss, 1991), and a dispositional model of coping (Miller, 1981, 1990) provided the theoretical context. An integral part of the study involved the evaluation of reliability and construct validity of the instruments commonly used to index these psychological constructs. Ninety-four participants completed questionnaires preand post-treatment in a large southern university student dental clinic. Reliability and construct validity analysis of the data revealed that item-level revisions or perhaps major revisions were indicated for the Anxiety Sensitivity Index, Millers Behavioral Style Scale and the Iowa Dental Control Scale-Desire for Control subscale. Desire for control and underlying factors in dispositional coping instruments may not be well indexed by current measures. Factors labelled mixed-coping style and vigilant-coping style indicated that future investigation of dispositional coping styles reconsider previous models in terms of flexible and non- flexible (vigilant) styles. Canonical correlational analysis was used to evaluate all variables simultaneously relative to a criterion aggregate variable of state anxiety. of the three functions produced, Function I was noteworthy (RC2 54.40%). The variables that contributed most to Function I were Expected Anxiety, Expected Danger, and Felt Control. The strongest relationships in the canonical analysis indicated that individuals experiencing higher levels of subjective anxiety in the medical-dental setting tend to have higher expectations of anxiety and lower perceived personal control. Results were interpreted as supporting further investigation of the components of Reiss' (1991) expectancy model in regard to …
