Interoception and Anxiety Traits in a Non-Clinical Adult Sample

305 participants completed self-report measures assessing interoceptive beliefs, attention, and perceived accuracy alongside anxiety-related traits and symptoms. A subsample of 103 participants additionally completed laboratory-based heartbeat perception tasks. The dataset, authored by Lucy Snell and last updated in April 2026, likely contains correlational analyses exploring the multidimensional relationship between interoception and anxiety.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between self-reported interoceptive difficulties and anxiety-related traits based on the described measures.
• Investigate novel associations between intolerance of uncertainty and interoceptive insight, bodily trust, and worry about internal sensations.
• Compare relationships between anxiety symptom severity and self-reported attention to bodily signals, bodily trust, and perceived accuracy.
• Examine the distinction between behavioral interoceptive accuracy and interoceptive beliefs as separate constructs.
• Test theoretical models of anxiety focusing on interoceptive beliefs and attentional processes rather than accuracy.

Strengths

• 305 participant records provide a substantial sample size for analysis.
• 103 participants in a subsample completed laboratory-based heartbeat perception tasks, adding behavioral data.
• The dataset explores multiple dimensions of interoception (beliefs, attention, accuracy, insight, trust).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is 765.8 KB, indicating a limited scope and likely containing summary or processed data rather than raw individual responses.
