Four psychometric scales: Corah Dental Anxiety Scale (CDAS), a modified version of the Geer Fear Scale (GFS), the Health Locus of Control Scale (HLCS), and a Mood Adjective Check List (MACL), were studied with regard to their implications for dental fear. Swedish versions given to groups of fearful and non-fearful dental patients as well as non-patients showed satisfactory metric properties. Mean scores obtained were in most cases similar to those reported for original American versions, even though some indications of cultural differences were observed. The scales seem to reflect important aspects of dental fear, and they represent a valuable methodology in research on etiology and treatment of dental fear.
对四个心理测量量表进行了研究，以探讨它们对牙科恐惧的影响，这四个量表分别是：科拉牙科焦虑量表（CDAS）、吉尔恐惧量表（GFS）的修订版、健康控制点量表（HLCS）以及情绪形容词检查表（MACL）。将瑞典语版本的量表分发给恐惧牙科和不恐惧牙科的患者群体以及非患者群体，结果显示这些量表具有令人满意的度量特性。尽管观察到一些文化差异的迹象，但在大多数情况下，获得的平均分数与美国原版量表报告的分数相似。这些量表似乎反映了牙科恐惧的重要方面，并且在牙科恐惧的病因学和治疗研究中代表了一种有价值的方法。
