This study examined the psychometric properties of the Slovak version of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS-SK) in a sample of adult Slovaks ( = 743). The data were collected online during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Slovakia. Along with the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Well-Being Index were administered to the respondents. The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis show a stable uni-dimensional structure of the CAS-SK, good reliability, and adequate convergent validity. The Item Response Theory findings suggest that all items have good discrimination parameters, all thresholds increased monotonically across the rating scale, and that the CAS-SK is more informative in individuals with a high level of coronavirus anxiety. These results suggest that the CAS-SK is a valid and reliable tool for measuring coronavirus anxiety.
本研究在743名成年斯洛伐克人的样本中检验了斯洛伐克语版冠状病毒焦虑量表（CAS-SK）的心理测量特性。数据是在斯洛伐克第二波新冠疫情期间通过网络收集的。除冠状病毒焦虑量表外，还对受访者施测了感知压力量表和幸福感指数。验证性因素分析结果显示，CAS-SK具有稳定的单维结构、良好的信度和充分的收敛效度。项目反应理论的研究结果表明，所有项目都具有良好的区分参数，所有阈值在评分量表上单调增加，并且CAS-SK在冠状病毒焦虑水平较高的个体中提供的信息更多。这些结果表明，CAS-SK是测量冠状病毒焦虑的有效且可靠的工具。
