本报告介绍了宾夕法尼亚州立大学忧虑问卷（Penn State Worry Questionnaire）的编制过程，该问卷用于测量忧虑特质。这一包含16个条目的工具是通过对大量条目进行因素分析得出的，并且被发现具有较高的内部一致性和良好的重测信度。该问卷与一些与忧虑合理相关的心理测量指标具有可预测的相关性，而与那些与忧虑结构关联不大的其他测量指标无相关性。对问卷的回答不受社会期望的影响。研究发现，该测量工具能够显著区分以下大学生样本：（a）完全符合、部分符合或完全不符合《精神障碍诊断与统计手册（第三版修订版）》（DSM - III - R）中广泛性焦虑障碍诊断标准的学生；（b）符合广泛性焦虑障碍标准与符合创伤后应激障碍标准的学生。在34名被诊断为广泛性焦虑障碍的临床受试者中，发现忧虑问卷与其他焦虑或抑郁测量指标无相关性，这表明它在严重焦虑个体中所涉及的是一个独立的结构，并且发现应对脱敏加认知疗法比非指导性治疗条件更能显著降低该测量指标的得分。
The present report describes the development of the Penn State Worry Questionnaire to measure the trait of worry. The 16-item instrument emerged from factor analysis of a large number of items and was found to possess high internal consistency and good test-retest reliability. The questionnaire correlates predictably with several psychological measures reasonably related to worry, and does not correlate with other measures more remote to the construct. Responses to the questionnaire are not influenced by social desirability. The measure was found to significantly discriminate college samples (a) who met all, some or none of the DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria for generalized anxiety disorder and (b) who met criteria for GAD vs posttraumatic stress disorder. Among 34 GAD-diagnosed clinical subjects, the worry questionnaire was found not to correlate with other measures of anxiety or depression, indicating that it is tapping an independent construct with severely anxious individuals, and coping desensitization plus cognitive therapy was found to produce significantly greater reductions in the measure than did a nondirective therapy condition.
