贝克焦虑量表（BAI）是最近开发的用于评估临床焦虑的量表。因为它的主要特点之一是关注焦虑的生理后遗症，该清单可能在非临床样本中也很有用。当前论文提供了非临床样本的初始心理测量特性。提出了两项研究。第一个是分数和因素结构。一个五因素的解决方案，一个主观和四个躯体因素约占60%的方差。第二项研究利用总分和因子分来评估与生理反应的一致性。总BAI与几个生理领域和主观痛苦中度相关。因子得分与相应的生理领域并不一致。当被试被分为高焦虑组和低焦虑组时，自我报告和生理反应之间的关系在焦虑水平较高的被试中增加。结果进行了讨论，比较临床和非临床研究结果，使用BAI在非临床样本，和未来的研究。
The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was recently developed to assess clinical anxiety. Because one of its main features is a focus upon physiological sequelae of anxiety, the inventory may prove useful in nonclinical samples as well. The current paper provides initial psychometric properties with a nonclinical sample. Two studies are presented. The first presents scores and factor structure. A five factor solution was obtained, with one subjective and four somatic factors accounting for approximately 60% of the variance. The second study utilizes the total and factor scores to assess concordance with physiological responding. The total BAI correlated moderately with several physiological domains and with subjective distress. Factor scores were not consistently correlated with corresponding physiological domains. When subjects were divided into high- and low-anxiety groups, the relationships between self-report and physiological response increased in subjects with higher levels of anxiety. Results are discussed in terms of comparing clinical and nonclinical findings, use of the BAI in nonclinical samples, and future research.
