本研究首次提供了Beck焦虑量表(Bai；Beck，Epstein，Brown，&Steer，1988)在西班牙普通人群中的标准化、信度、因素效度和区分效度数据。桑兹和纳瓦罗(2003)的西班牙语版BAI被249名成年人接受了测试。因素分析表明，BAI利用了一个由两个相关因素(躯体症状和情感认知症状)组成的一般焦虑维度，但这些因素几乎解释不了任何额外的差异，因此，只考虑全量表分数几乎没有丢失信息。BAI的内部一致性估计很高(阿尔法=0.93)。BAI与BDI-II相关0.63，与STAXI-2的特质-愤怒相关0.32，但对其条目的因素分析显示有三个因素。这表明，焦虑、抑郁和愤怒之间的关系可能可以更好地解释这些工具之间的相关性，而不是通过区分效度问题来解释。平均BAI总分和BAI得分分布与其他国家相似。社区样本的BAI常模得分来自总样本以及男性和女性亚样本，因为女性的得分高于男性。讨论了这些评分在评估焦虑症治疗结果的临床意义方面的作用。
This is the first study that provides normative, reliability, factor validity and discriminant validity data of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI; Beck, Epstein, Brown, & Steer, 1988) in the Spanish general population. Sanz and Navarro's (2003) Spanish version of the BAI was administered to 249 adults. Factor analyses suggested that the BAI taps a general anxiety dimension comprising two related factors (somatic and affective-cognitive symptoms), but these factors hardly explained any additional variance and, therefore, little information is lost in considering only full-scale scores. Internal consistency estimate for the BAI was high (alpha =.93). The BAI was correlated .63 with the BDI-II and .32 with the Trait-Anger scale of the STAXI 2, but a factor analysis of their items revealed three factors. suggesting that the correlations between the instruments may be better accounted for by relationships between anxiety, depression, and anger, thatn by problems of discriminant validity. The mean BAI total score and the distribution of BAI scores were similar to those found in other Countries. BAI norm scores for the community sample were provided from the total sample and from the male and female subsamples, as females scored higher than males. The utility of these scores for assessing clinical significance of treatment outcomes for anxiety is discussed.
