The aim of our study was to provide validation and reproducible data for the anxiety thermometer. This thermometer is either a continuous or a 10-point Likert-type scale on which subjects are asked to rate their anxiety feelings at a particular moment. It is a quick way to measure state-anxiety. As a validation criterion the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) A-State scale was used. To test the reproducibility of the thermometer, a test-retest correlation coefficient was calculated, with a retrospective second thermometer score. The ego-threatening situation used was a written examination. Two experiments were carried out during different examination conditions. The data consistently indicated that the validity and reproducibility of the anxiety thermometer is fair (correlation coefficients between .60 and .78) In the second study, the possible influence of two factors on the retrospective scores were additionally tested.
我们研究的目的是为焦虑温度计提供验证性和可重复的数据。该温度计采用连续或10点李克特量表形式，要求受试者对其在特定时刻的焦虑感受进行评分。它是测量状态焦虑的一种快速方法。作为验证标准，使用了状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）的A-状态量表。为了测试温度计的可重复性，计算了重测相关系数，并回顾性地得出第二个温度计得分。所采用的自我威胁情境是一场笔试。在不同的考试条件下进行了两项实验。数据一致表明，焦虑温度计的有效性和可重复性尚可（相关系数在0.60至0.78之间）。在第二项研究中，还额外测试了两个因素对回顾性得分的可能影响。
