The Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory is a 40-item self-report inventory designed to measure both state anxiety section (current feelings of apprehension, worry, etc.) and trait anxiety section (continuous feelings of apprehension, worry, etc.). Each section is scored on four levels of anxiety intensity from 1="not at all" to 4="very much" and with a sum score between 20 and 80. A higher total score indicates more severe anxiety level. |
