The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory form Y is a brief self-rating scale for the assessment of state and trait anxiety. The aim of the current preliminary study was to assess the psychometric properties of its Greek translation.
121 healthy volunteers 27.22 +/- 10.61 years old, and 22 depressed patients 29.48 +/- 9.28 years old entered the study. In 20 of them the instrument was re-applied 1-2 days later. Translation and Back Translation was made. The clinical diagnosis was reached with the SCAN v.2.0 and the IPDE. The Symptoms Rating Scale for Depression and Anxiety (SRSDA) and the EPQ were applied for cross-validation purposes. The Statistical Analysis included the Pearson Correlation Coefficient and the calculation of Cronbach's alpha.
The State score for healthy subjects was 34.30 +/- 10.79 and the Trait score was 36.07 +/- 10.47. The respected scores for the depressed patients were 56.22 +/- 8.86 and 53.83 +/- 10.87. Both State and Trait scores followed the normal distribution in control subjects. Cronbach's alpha was 0.93 for the State and 0.92 for the Trait subscale. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient between State and Trait subscales was 0.79. Both subscales correlated fairly with the anxiety subscale of the SRSDA. Test-retest reliability was excellent, with Pearson coefficient being between 0.75 and 0.98 for individual items and equal to 0.96 for State and 0.98 for Trait.
The current study provided preliminary evidence concerning the reliability and the validity of the Greek translation of the STAI-form Y. Its properties are generally similar to those reported in the international literature, but further research is necessary.
状态-特质焦虑量表Y型是一种用于评估状态焦虑和特质焦虑的简短自评量表。本初步研究的目的是评估其希腊语翻译版的心理测量特性。
121名年龄为27.22±10.61岁的健康志愿者和22名年龄为29.48±9.28岁的抑郁症患者进入研究。其中20人在1 - 2天后再次使用该量表。进行了翻译和回译。采用SCAN v.2.0和IPDE进行临床诊断。应用抑郁与焦虑症状评定量表（SRSDA）和艾森克人格问卷（EPQ）进行交叉验证。统计分析包括皮尔逊相关系数和克朗巴赫α系数的计算。
健康受试者的状态得分是34.30±10.79，特质得分是36.07±10.47。抑郁症患者相应的得分分别是56.22±8.86和53.83±10.87。在对照组中，状态和特质得分均呈正态分布。状态分量表的克朗巴赫α系数为0.93，特质分量表为0.92。状态和特质分量表之间的皮尔逊相关系数为0.79。两个分量表与SRSDA的焦虑分量表均有较好的相关性。重测信度极佳，各项目的皮尔逊系数在0.75至0.98之间，状态分量表为0.96，特质分量表为0.98。
本研究为状态-特质焦虑量表Y型希腊语翻译版的信度和效度提供了初步证据。其特性总体上与国际文献报道的相似，但仍需进一步研究。
