Psychometric Properties of the State-Trait Inventory for Cognitive and Somatic Anxiety (STICSA) in Friendship Dyads
Abstract
Recently, Gros, Antony, Simms, and McCabe (2007) demonstrated support for the psychometric properties of a new measure of state and trait anxiety, the State-Trait Inventory for Cognitive and Somatic Anxiety (STICSA). In the present study, we further investigated the STICSA-Trait Version in 127 friendship dyads with a self-report from one participant (target) and an other-report of the target from a friend (informant). Consistent with previous research, confirmatory factor analyses supported the 2-factor structure of the STICSA-Trait in the target and informant reports. Moreover, the STICSA-Trait Cognitive and Somatic Anxiety subscales showed acceptable convergent and discriminant validity with related measures of anxiety. In addition, the STICSA-Trait subscales demonstrated adequate internal consistency and self-other agreement across the target and informant reports. Together, these findings provide additional support for the STICSA-Trait subscales as reliable and valid measures of cognitive and somatic anxiety.

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.
