Development and initial psychometric features of a new inventory to assess cognitions associated with social phobia are described. The Social Thoughts and Beliefs Scale (STABS) is designed to assess cognitions in individuals with social phobia. In the 1st study, an initial pool of 45 items was reduced to 21. In the 2nd study, psychometric features of the scale were examined in a sample of individuals with social phobia, other anxiety disorders, and no psychiatric disorder. Total scores and two factor scores significantly differentiated individuals with social phobia from those in the other groups and were found to have adequate test-retest reliability and internal consistency. Potential usefulness of the STABS for assessing cognitions associated with social phobia is discussed.
本文描述了一种用于评估与社交恐惧症相关认知的新量表的编制过程及其初步心理测量学特征。社交思维与信念量表(STABS)旨在评估社交恐惧症患者的认知。在第一项研究中,最初的45个项目被缩减至21个。在第二项研究中,对社交恐惧症患者、其他焦虑症患者以及无精神疾病的个体样本进行了该量表心理测量学特征的检验。总分和两个因子得分能够显著区分社交恐惧症患者与其他组个体,且具有足够的重测信度和内部一致性。文中还讨论了STABS在评估与社交恐惧症相关认知方面的潜在用途。
