Specific Phobia Questionnaire/Evidence
Method evidence record

Specific Phobia Questionnaire

The Specific Phobia Questionnaire (SPQ) is a brief self-report measure assessing fear, avoidance, and distress related to specific phobic objects or situations (e.g., heights, spiders, flying, blood-injection-injury). Developed by Osman and colleagues in the 1990s, the SPQ captures the cognitive, behavioral, and physiological dimensions of specific phobia in a concise format. It is useful in clinical screening, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring for diverse phobias.
