The present study aimed to determine school anxiety profiles based on Lang\u2019s model of the triple response system (cognitive anxiety, psychophysiological anxiety, and behavioral anxiety) and to identify possible differences between these profiles in psychopathological symptoms (depression, hostility, interpersonal sensitivity, somatization, anxiety, psychoticism, obsessive-compulsive, phobic anxiety, and paranoid ideation). The School Anxiety Inventory (SAI) and the Symptom Assessment-45 Questionnaire (SA-45) were administered to 1525 Spanish students (49% girls) between 15 and 18 years old (<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic> = 16.36, <jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic> = 1.04). Latent Profile Analysis identified four school anxiety profiles: Low School Anxiety, Average School Anxiety, High School Anxiety, and Excessive School Anxiety. A multivariate analysis of variance revealed statistically significant differences among the school anxiety profiles in all the psychopathological symptoms examined. Specifically, adolescents with Excessive School Anxiety showed significantly higher levels of the nine psychopathological symptoms than their peers with Average School Anxiety and Low School Anxiety. In addition, the Excessive School Anxiety profile scored significantly higher in phobic anxiety than the High School Anxiety group. These findings allow to conclude that it is necessary enhance well-being and reduce psychopathology of those adolescents who manifest high and very high reactivity in cognitive, psychophysiological, and behavioral anxiety.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0262280","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,21]],"date-time":"2022-01-21T18:49:42Z","timestamp":1642790982000},"page":"e0262280","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["School anxiety profiles in Spanish adolescents and their differences in psychopathological symptoms"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2709-1099","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Aitana","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Sogorb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1195-358X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ricardo","family":"Sanmart\u00edn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda","family":"Vicent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7810-9044","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Carolina","family":"Gonz\u00e1lvez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5836-331X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Cecilia","family":"Ruiz-Esteban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Manuel","family":"Garc\u00eda-Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0262280.ref001","first-page":"90","volume-title":"Fear reduction and fear behaviour: problems in treating a construct","author":"PJ Lang","year":"1968"},{"key":"pone.0262280.ref002","first-page":"413","article-title":"Evaluaci\u00f3n y tratamiento de la ansiedad escolar en la infancia y la adolescencia [Assessment and treatment of school anxiety in childhood and adolescence].","volume":"16","author":"JM Garc\u00eda-Fern\u00e1ndez","year":"2008","journal-title":"Psicol Conduct."},{"issue":"3","key":"pone.0262280.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0210130","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0210130","article-title":"Testing anxiety in undergraduate medical students and its correlation with different learning approaches.","volume":"14","author":"C Cipra","year":"2019","journal-title":"PLoS ONE"},{"issue":"4","key":"pone.0262280.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"247","DOI":"10.1177\/0748175615578738","article-title":"School Anxiety Inventory\u2013Short Version: Factorial invariance and latent mean differences across gender and age in Spanish adolescents.","volume":"48","author":"CJ Ingl\u00e9s","year":"2015","journal-title":"Meas.
