Anxiety Measurement: Construct Validity and Test Performance.

Williams, Janice E.

Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v27 n1 p302-07 Apr 1994

Assessed multitrait-multimethod validity of 2 anxiety traits (worry and emotionality) as measured by test and mathematics anxiety instruments among 175 junior and senior high school students. Findings revealed that the four subscales apparently measured a single construct. Also, all four subscales were pervasively influenced by quantitative performance. (Author/NB)
