Abstract

The development ofa 2 l-item self-report inventory for measuring the severity of anxiety in psychiat-ric populations i described. The initial item pool f86 items was drawn from three preexisting scales: the Anxiety Checklist, the Physician's Desk Reference Checklist, and the Situational Anxiety Checklist. A series of analyses was used to reduce the item pool. The resulting Beck Anxiety Inven-tory (BAI) is a 21-item scale that showed high internal consistency (a =.92) and test-retest reliability over 1 week, r(81) =.75. TheBAI discriminated anxious diagnostic groups (panic disorder, general-ized anxiety disorder, etc.) from nonanxious diagnostic groups (major depression, dysthymic disor-der, etc). In addition, the BAI was moderately correlated with the revised Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, r(150) =.51, and was only mildly correlated with the revised Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, r(l 53) =.25. Studies addressing the distinctiveness ofanxiety and depres-sion depend on the availability of reliable and valid assessment instruments. However, a number of studies have reported high correlations (r>.50) between the widely used rating scales of anxiety and depression (e.g., Dobson, 1985; Mendels,

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.
