The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is one of the assessment instruments that are most widely used by psychologists around the world and is the seventh most broadly used by clinical psychologists in Spain. Although several short forms of the STAI have been developed since its creation, none are available for the Spanish general population. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate a short form of the STAI. To achieve this, we administered the full STAI to 1,157 healthy adults, and 30 patients with generalized anxiety disorder. We conducted a discriminant analysis using such groups. : We obtained a selection of four items for state anxiety and four items for trait anxiety and compared it to other short forms through a confirmatory factor analysis. The short form obtained with the discriminant analysis showed the best fit for Spanish samples. these eight items can be used to facilitate the state and trait anxiety assessment.
状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）是世界范围内心理学家使用最广泛的评估工具之一，在西班牙是临床心理学家使用的第七广泛的工具。自其创建以来，虽然已经开发了几种STAI的简短形式，但没有适用于西班牙普通人群的。本研究的目的是开发并验证一种STAI的简短形式。为实现这一目标，我们对1157名健康成年人和30名广泛性焦虑症患者施测了完整的STAI。我们使用这些组进行了判别分析。我们获得了4个状态焦虑项目和4个特质焦虑项目的选择，并通过验证性因素分析将其与其他简短形式进行比较。通过判别分析获得的简短形式对西班牙样本显示出最佳拟合。这八个项目可用于促进状态和特质焦虑评估。
