This paper reports the development of an interval scale of anxiety response. Magnitude estimation procedures were used with three different groups of subjects to develop a suitable scale of seven anxiety descriptors. The ratio of the highest to lowest descriptor magnitudes was 21 to 1. Analyses of the descriptor sets in the various groups indicated high reliability of meaning and high objectivity. In addition, high agreement on meaning was shown for groups of differing education and socioeconomic status. A preliminary study using the scale indicates appropriate preliminary construct validity. Further reliability and validity research is needed. This scale may be useful for assessing anxiety response changes in a variety of contexts.
本文报告了一种焦虑反应区间量表的编制情况。采用数量估计程序,对三组不同的受试者进行研究,以编制一个包含七个焦虑描述词的合适量表。最高描述词与最低描述词的量级比为21比1。对不同组中描述词组的分析表明,意义的可靠性高且客观性强。此外,不同教育程度和社会经济地位的组在意义上也表现出高度一致性。使用该量表的初步研究表明其初步的构想效度合适。还需要进一步进行信度和效度研究。该量表可能有助于评估各种情境下焦虑反应的变化。
