Worry is a central process in a wide range of psychopathological and somatic conditions. Three studies (N = 856) were used to test whether a subscale composed of five items of the most commonly used trait anxiety questionnaire, Spielberger’s State Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait version (STAI-T), is appropriate to measure worry. Results showed that the subscale, named the Brief Worry Scale (BWS), had excellent internal consistency and temporal stability. Convergent and divergent validity were supported by correlation analyses using worry questionnaires and measures of anxious arousal and depression. The BWS was a particularly good predictor of the pathogenic aspects of worry, including worry perseveration in daily life (study 1), measures of clinical worry (study 2) and the uncontrollability of experimentally induced worry (study 3). Taken together, these studies demonstrate that the BWS might be a valuable scale for pathological worry, for which many researchers already have data.

每个人都已经有了一个简短的病理性担忧

忧虑是广泛的心理病理和躯体疾病的中心过程。三项研究(N (= 856)来测试由最常用的五种性状焦虑量表(斯皮尔伯格的状态特质焦虑量表-特质版本(STAI-T))组成的子量表是否适合衡量忧虑。结果表明,该子量表称为简短忧虑量表(BWS),具有出色的内部一致性和时间稳定性。使用担心问卷和焦虑唤醒和抑郁的测量方法进行相关性分析,支持收敛性和发散性有效性。BWS可以很好地预测忧虑的致病性,包括日常生活中的忧虑坚持(研究1),临床忧虑的衡量指标(研究2)和实验诱发的忧虑的不可控制性(研究3)。综合起来,这些研究表明BWS可能是病理性疾病的宝贵量表,
