Self-Report Measures of Anxiety: A Cross-Cultural Investigation of Bias.

Argulewicz, Ed N.; Miller, David C.

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v6 n4 p397-406 Dec 1984

The study investigated whether ethnicity and gender influenced anxiety scores at different developmental levels (grades one through three). Internal evidence of test bias was examined by computing internal reliability coefficients for the anxiety measures. The two anxiety scales were found to have adequate reliability coefficients for all groups studied. (NQA)
