Abstract

BACKGROUND

The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) is a common tool for screening anxiety symptoms. In Malaysia, the Malay-version 21-item BAI has been previously validated in the Malaysian adult population. However, information regarding its reliability and validity among adolescents below 18 years old is still lacking. The objective of this study is to investigate the psychometric properties of the Malay-version BAI in this population.

METHODS

The Malay versions of the BAI and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS) were administered among a sample of lower secondary school students ( = 329, age range: 13-14 years) in Selangor, Malaysia. Cronbach's alpha value for the internal consistency of the Malay-version BAI was determined. The correlation coefficient between the BAI score and DASS anxiety subscale score was calculated to examine convergent validity. The factor structure of the Malay-version BAI was identified by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using principal axis factoring.

RESULTS

The study included 329 respondents, who were predominantly female (58.7%) and Malay (79.9%). The mean Malay-version BAI score was 14.46 (SD = 12.39). The Malay-version BAI showed a high level of internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.948) and convergent validity with the DASS anxiety subscale score (r = 0.80, < 0.001). The EFA suggested a one-factor solution, with the factor loading of all items on the single factor ranging between 0.48 and 0.81.

CONCLUSION

The Malay-version BAI demonstrated good psychometric properties. It can be a valid and reliable screening instrument for anxiety among Malaysian adolescents.

摘要

背景

贝克焦虑量表（BAI）是一种用于筛查焦虑症状的常用工具。在马来西亚，21项马来语版BAI先前已在马来西亚成年人群中得到验证。然而，关于其在18岁以下青少年中的信度和效度的信息仍然缺乏。本研究的目的是调查马来语版BAI在该人群中的心理测量特性。

方法

在马来西亚雪兰莪州的初中学生样本（n = 329，年龄范围：13 - 14岁）中施测马来语版BAI和抑郁、焦虑和压力量表（DASS）。确定马来语版BAI内部一致性的克朗巴哈系数值。计算BAI得分与DASS焦虑分量表得分之间的相关系数以检验收敛效度。使用主轴因子分解的探索性因子分析（EFA）确定马来语版BAI的因子结构。

结果

该研究包括329名受访者，其中大多数为女性（58.7%）和马来人（79.9%）。马来语版BAI的平均得分为14.46（标准差 = 12.39）。马来语版BAI显示出高度的内部一致性（克朗巴哈系数 = 0.948），并且与DASS焦虑分量表得分具有收敛效度（r = 0.80，p < 0.001）。EFA表明为单因素解决方案，所有项目在单个因子上的因子载荷范围在0.48至0.81之间。
