This measure is designed to assess self-reported anxiety symptoms and related emotional responses to stress. The Anxiety Level Scale provides a brief, structured method for estimating current anxiety severity in clinical or screening contexts.
The instrument consists of 50 items and typically requires about 10 minutes to complete. It is commonly used to support case conceptualization, monitor change over time, and guide follow-up assessment when elevated anxiety is endorsed.
The Anxiety Level Scale is attributed to Charles D. Spielberger and should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview findings and other relevant measures, rather than used as a standalone diagnostic tool.
