摘要

背景:统计焦虑是社会科学统计专业学生普遍存在的问题。最广泛的测量方法是统计焦虑量表。该仪器的各种调整在其析因结构的复制中显示出某些问题，并且没有一个系统来控制可能的反应偏差效应。我们研究的目的是提出一个简短的测试来衡量统计焦虑，也包括一个控制社会期望偏差的量表。方法:我们开发了一个修订版的统计焦虑量表，使用控制反应偏倚的程序，并在531名学生的样本中使用探索性和验证性分析来检查其析因结构。结果:在探索性和验证性因素分析中，修订后的版本呈现出清晰的四因素结构，预期的三个内容因素加上一个社会期望因素。该量表不存在默许效应和适度的社会期望效应，且与学业成功有明显的关系。结论:修订后的统计焦虑量表改善了原量表的心理测量特性，并可能克服了原量表在一些修改中发现的问题。

Development of a Revised Version of the Statistical Anxiety Scale.

Background: Statistics anxiety is a common problem in students taking statistics courses in the social sciences. It is most widely measured by the statistical anxiety scale. The various adaptations of this instrument have shown certain problems in the replication of its factorial structure and do not have a system to control possible response bias effects. The objective of our study was to propose a short test to measure statistical anxiety that also includes a scale to control social desirability bias.

Method: We developed a revised version of the statistical anxiety scale using procedures for controlling response biases and examined its factorial structure using exploratory and confirmatory analysis in a sample of 531 students.

Results: The revised version showed a clear four-factor structure in exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses with the expected three content factors plus one social desirability factor. The scales showed no acquiescence effects and moderate social desirability effects, and had a clear relationship with academic success.

Conclusions: The revised version of the statistical anxiety scale improves on the psychometric properties of the original version and may overcome the problems detected in some adaptations of the previous version.
