The BAI total scores and 21 symptom ratings of 453 female and 453 male outpatients matched by age and principal DSM-III-R disorders were compared. The mean difference in the total scores of 1.77 represented a small effect size of 0.12, p < .01. Although nine symptoms significantly differentiated the men and women, a stepwise discriminant analysis indicated that only one symptom, "Feeling hot," explained more than 1% of the variance distinguishing between the men and women. The women described slightly more overall anxiety and specific distress with respect to the latter symptom than the men did. The findings were discussed as supporting the use of the same norms for both sexes.
