ACQ
Anxiety Control Questionnaire (ACQ)
The ACQ is a self-report instrument that measures a person's perceived ability to control anxiety-related events, internal reactions, and situations. It assesses one of the key factors involved in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders, in particular the sense of being unable to act on one's anxiety.
