A valid, reliable, and practical tool to assess spider-related distress dimensionally, and to differentiate between spider-related fear and disgust in a time-sensitive manner, may help to better understand individual differences in these two emotions and to tailor treatments accordingly. In this study series, we developed the Spider Distress Scale (SDS), a concise self-report questionnaire that measures spider-related distress, and differentiates unique elements of spider-related disgust from fear.
