“…Due to its small number of items, the CAS has been used for the general population (Lee et al, 2020a), as well as nurses (Labrague & De los Santos, 2020), healthcare professionals (Mora-Magaña et al, 2020), and university students (Caycho-Rodr ıguez, Barboza-Palomino, et al, 2020). All psychometric studies have concluded that the five CAS items have been grouped into a single dimension and are internally consistent, with alpha coefficients varying from 0.80 to 0.93 and omega coefficients with values between 0.80 and 0.88 (Ahmed et al, 2020;Caycho-Rodriguez, Barboza-Palomino, et al, 2020;Evren et al, 2020;Franco-Jimenez, 2020;Lee, 2020aLee, , 2020bLee, Jobe, Mathis, et al, 2020;Lee, Mathis, Jobe, et al, 2020) In addition, the CAS has been significantly associated with measures of depression, generalized anxiety, death anxiety, neuroticism, health anxiety, tranquility seeking behaviors, obsession and fear of COVID-19, worry, negativity in regards to mental well-being, as well as other sociodemographic variables, such as age, gender, race, and educational level (Ahmed et al, 2020;Caycho-Rodriguez, Barboza-Palomino, et al, 2020;Evren et al, 2020;Franco-Jimenez, 2020;Lee, 2020a;Lee, Jobe, Mathis, et al, 2020;Lee, Mathis, Jobe, et al, 2020).…”
