Mattick and Clarke's (1998) Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS) and Social Phobia Scale (SPS) are commonly used self-report measures that assess 2 dimensions of social anxiety. Given the need for short, readable measures, this research proposes short forms of both scales. Item-level analyses of readability characteristics of the SIAS and SPS items led to the selection of 6 items from each scale for use in the short forms. The SIAS and SPS short forms had reading levels at approximately the 6th and 5th grade level, respectively. Results using nonclinical (Study 1: N = 469) and clinical (Study 2: N = 145) samples identified these short forms as being factorially sound, possessing adequate internal consistency, and having strong convergence with their full-length counterparts. Moreover, these short forms showed convergence with other measures of social anxiety, showed divergence from measures assessing related constructs, and predicted concurrent interpersonal functioning. Recommendations for the use of these short forms are discussed.
马蒂克和克拉克（1998 年）的社会互动焦虑量表（SIAS）和社交恐惧症量表（SPS）是常用的自评量表，用于评估社交焦虑的两个维度。鉴于需要简短、易读的测量工具，本研究提出了这两个量表的简短形式。对 SIAS 和 SPS 项目可读性特征的项目级分析导致从每个量表中选择 6 个项目用于简短形式。SIAS 和 SPS 简短形式的阅读水平分别约为 6 年级和 5 年级。使用非临床（研究 1：N=469）和临床（研究 2：N=145）样本的结果表明，这些简短形式在因子结构上合理，具有足够的内部一致性，并且与完整形式具有很强的一致性。此外，这些简短形式与其他社交焦虑测量工具具有一致性，与评估相关结构的测量工具具有差异，并预测了同期的人际功能。讨论了使用这些简短形式的建议。
