VARIANTE REDUSE ALE SUBSCALELOR DE EVALUARE MULTIDIMENSIONALĂ A ANXIETĂŢII CA TRĂSĂTURĂ (EMAS-T ŞI SAS-T)
Short Versions of Endler Multidimensional Trait Anxiety Subscales (EMAS-T and SAS-T)

Summary/Abstract: The EMAS (The Endler Multidimensional Anxiety Scales) and the EMAS-SAS (The EMAS Social Anxiey Scales) are useful instruments for assessing seven dimensions of trait anxiety: social evaluation, physical danger, ambiguity, daily routines, separation, and self-disclosure to family members and to close friends. Every dimension is assessed using a separate subscale, along with another scale for measuring state anxiety. All subscales measuring trait anxiety have the same 15 items but they differ regarding the situation they evaluate. The present study aims to identify the psychometric characteristics of trait anxiety subscales. The study was performed on 905 subjects, age between 14-85 years. Three items were found to be subject of exclusion from each subscale. The short versions of these subscales have better psychometric characteristics (internal consistency and construct validity) than original subscales.
