Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine further the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) in samples of adolescents, ages 14 to 18 years. The BAI is a 21‐item self‐report measure of anxiety severity. The BAI total score differentiated between the inpatient and high‐school adolescents. In the psychiatric inpatient sample, girls obtained higher anxiety‐severity scores than boys; no gender differences were obtained for the BAI total score in the high‐school sample. Confirmatory factor analyses did not provide adequate fit for the two‐ factor oblique BAI models to the separate male and female psychiatric inpatient data. Principal axes with varimax and promax rotations initially identified a four‐factor solution in the separate male and female inpatient participants. However, second‐order analyses of the primary factors provided stronger support for a single‐factor structure in each sample. Estimates of reliability for the BAI were adequate in samples of psychiatric inpatient and high‐school adolescents. Evidence for convergent and discriminant validity of the BAI was investigated separately in the male and female inpatient samples. Overall, the BAI showed acceptable psychometric properties in these populations. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol 58: 443–456, 2002.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
