WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Family Anxiety Analysis Test - Symptoms and Signs

family uneasiness

Family-related worry can be difficult to recognize but may meaningfully affect household functioning and relationships. The Family Anxiety Analysis is a brief self-report measure designed to screen for anxiety and tension specifically tied to family situations and concerns. It was developed by C. Donald Spielberger and R. D. Laing.

The instrument includes 21 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Responses are intended to support a focused clinical discussion of family-centered fears, doubts, and perceived stressors, helping clarify areas of concern and informing next steps (e.g., family consultation, individual intervention, or monitoring). The Family Anxiety Analysis is not a diagnostic tool and should be interpreted in the context of other clinical information and the respondent’s current circumstances.
