“…Recall that girls also obtained higher mean BAI scores than boys. Thus, this finding of gender differences in anxiety severity is consistent with previous results on other ratings and self-report measures of anxiety (see Jolly et al, 1993). Furthermore, results of the partial correlational analyses, as well as the moderate correlations between the BAI and BDI scores in both gender subgroups, suggest the potential for comorbidity and item overlap between these symptoms.…”

“…For the clinical sample, the findings of significant gender differences in BAI total scores suggested the need for separate analyses and interpretations of BAI scores in this inpatient sample. Although our finding of gender differences in BAI total scores differs from those reported by Kumar et al (1993) for an inpatient sample of adolescents, the overall mean scores on the BAI for our combined clinical samples were comparable to scores that were reported in other studies with adolescent psychiatric inpatients (e.g., Jolly et al, 1993).…”

“…The mean BAI score difference of 7 points between girls and boys strongly suggests the need for validating the BAI separately for each gender. In addition, we found that the mean BAI score for the combined adolescent inpatient sample (M ϭ 15.54, SD ϭ 12.70; range ϭ 0 to 63) in this study is similar to the mean BAI scores reported by Jolly et al (1993) for a clinical sample of 80 inpatient adolescents, t(318) ϭ .09, p ϭ ns, and Kumar et al (1993) for a moderate sample (n ϭ 108) of adolescent psychiatric inpatients, t(346) ϭ .23, p ϭ ns. In the normal high-school sample, there were no significant differences between girls (M ϭ 10.48, SD ϭ 7.79; range ϭ 0 to 30) and boys (M ϭ 8.73, SD ϭ 7.56; range ϭ 0 to 28) on the BAI total score, t(165) ϭ 1.49, p ϭ .14.…”

“…Data from a cross-sectional study with 80 adolescent psychiatric inpatients (Jolly, Aruffo, Wherry, & Livingston, 1993) were used to evaluate evidence for convergent and discriminant validity. Specifically, convergent validity was indicated by significant and moderate correlations between scores on the BAI with (a) the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (r ϭ .58; RCMAS; Reynolds & Richmond, 1978) and (b) clinicians' ratings of anxiety (r ϭ .40).…”

Factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Beck Anxiety Inventory in adolescent psychiatric inpatients

et al. 2002

The purpose of this study was to examine further the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) in samples of adolescents, ages 14 to 18 years. The BAI is a 21-item self-report measure of anxiety severity. The BAI total score differentiated between the inpatient and high-school adolescents. In the psychiatric inpatient sample, girls obtained higher anxiety-severity scores than boys; no gender differences were obtained for the BAI total score in the high-school sample. Confirmatory factor analyses did not provide adequate fit for the two- factor oblique BAI models to the separate male and female psychiatric inpatient data. Principal axes with varimax and promax rotations initially identified a four-factor solution in the separate male and female inpatient participants. However, second-order analyses of the primary factors provided stronger support for a single-factor structure in each sample. Estimates of reliability for the BAI were adequate in samples of psychiatric inpatient and high-school adolescents. Evidence for convergent and discriminant validity of the BAI was investigated separately in the male and female inpatient samples. Overall, the BAI showed acceptable psychometric properties in these populations.

Objective: To determine if readiness for change (RFC) at admission predicted length of stay (LOS) and short-term outcomes among female adolescents in residential treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN).Method: Using a prospective cohort design to collect data from participants (N 5 65) at admission and discharge, KaplanMeier survival analysis and Cox regression tested whether RFC on admission predicted time in LOS to a favorable short-term outcome-a composite endpoint based on minimum criteria for weight gain, drive for thinness, depression, anxiety, and healthrelated quality of life (HRQOL).Results: Participants with low RFC had a mean survival time to a favorable short-term outcome of 59.4 days compared to 34.1 days for those with high RFC (log rank 5 8.44, df 5 1, p 5 .003). The probability of a favorable short-term outcome was 5.30 times greater for participants with high RFC. Conclusion:Readiness for change is a useful predictor of a favorable short-term outcome and should be considered in the assessment profile of patients with AN. V V C 2007 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Convergent and divergent validity of the Beck Anxiety Inventory for patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia

et al. 1997

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Psychometric properties of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) (Beck and Steer, 1990) were investigated in a sample of 82 patients suffering from panic disorder with agoraphobia. Before and after brief treatment, patients completed a battery of questionnaires and, for 2‐week periods, kept a daily panic diary in which they recorded panic attacks, fear of panic, and average anxiety. The BAI demonstrated excellent internal consistency and good test–retest reliability over a 5‐week interval. A partial multitrait, multimethod correlation matrix provided evidence of convergent validity with other measures of anxiety and of divergent validity vis á vis measures of depression. Factor analyses of pretest scores and residual gain scores used to address criticism that the BAI is excessively panic‐centric yielded mixed results. In one analysis, the BAI was loaded with multimethod measures of panic and anxiety and, in the other, with questionnaire methods of assessing anxiety and depression. However, the BAI was clearly distinguished from measures of fear of fear, a central construct in panic disorder, and agoraphobic avoidance. Finally, the BAI proved sensitive to change with treatment, yielding effect sizes for improvement comparable to those of other anxiety measures.
