WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Personal Anxiety Scale for Students Test

Student Trait Anxiety Scale Test

uneasiness

This self-report measure is designed to assess anxiety-related tendencies in students across common day-to-day contexts. The Student Trait Anxiety Scale asks respondents to rate how anxious they feel in a range of situations, supporting identification of domains associated with heightened subjective tension.

The instrument contains 40 items and typically requires about 8 minutes to complete. Content broadly samples situations related to school demands, interpersonal interactions, and self-evaluative concerns, with items intended to capture the intensity of experienced anxiety rather than the mere presence of symptoms.

The Student Trait Anxiety Scale can be used to inform clinical or school-based screening and to guide discussion of areas most associated with anxiety responses; repeat administrations may be used to monitor change over time. Original authorship is commonly attributed to Charles D. Spielberger.
