Abstract

The present study examined the psychometric properties of the short Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI-5) in a Dutch adolescent sample. The sample consisted of 2063 secondary school students (mean age 13.6 years, 48% girls) who filled out a battery of screening questionnaires for a routine health check. We investigated structural validity with a confirmatory factor analysis, scale reliability with internal consistency coefficients, and construct validity with hypotheses testing and convergent validity. The proposed one-factor structure fitted well in the present sample. However, there was an indication of measurement variance for gender. Scale reliability was high (ω = 0.88), and sufficient positive correlations were found between TAI-5 scores and anxiety, depression, worry, executive functioning, and sleep problems (r ranging from 0.36 to 0.56). Girls had significantly higher test anxiety scores than boys (d = 0.47). The present study provided evidence for the validity and reliability of TAI-5 scores in a general population of Dutch adolescents.

荷兰青少年简易考试焦虑量表（TAI-5）的有效性和可靠性。

本研究考察了荷兰青少年样本中简短考试焦虑量表（TAI-5）的心理测量特性。样本包括 2063 名中学生（平均年龄 13.6 岁，48% 为女生），他们填写了一系列常规健康检查的筛查问卷。我们通过确认性因子分析研究了结构效度，通过内部一致性系数研究了量表的可靠性，通过假设检验和聚合效度研究了建构效度。所提出的单因素结构与目前的样本非常吻合。不过，有迹象表明性别存在测量差异。量表的信度很高（ω = 0.88），TAI-5 分数与焦虑、抑郁、担忧、执行功能和睡眠问题之间存在充分的正相关（r 在 0.36 至 0.56 之间）。女生的测试焦虑得分明显高于男生（d = 0.47）。本研究证明了 TAI-5 分数在荷兰青少年中的有效性和可靠性。

期刊介绍： The Journal of General Psychology publishes human and animal research reflecting various methodological approaches in all areas of experimental psychology. It covers traditional topics such as physiological and comparative psychology, sensation, perception, learning, and motivation, as well as more diverse topics such as cognition, memory, language, aging, and substance abuse, or mathematical, statistical, methodological, and other theoretical investigations. The journal especially features studies that establish functional relationships, involve a series of integrated experiments, or contribute to the development of new theoretical insights or practical applications.
