TL;DR: The Chinese version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was administered to 2150 Chinese secondary-school students and factor analytic data showed that while two factors were abstracted from the A-State scale, two (Anxiety Present and Anxiety Absent) or three (An Anxiety Present, Calmness, and Happiness) factors were extracted from the APA scale.
Abstract: The Chinese version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was administered to 2150 Chinese secondary-school students. Reliability data revealed that the A-State and A-Trait scales had a high internal consistency, and high item-total correlations were found for most of the items under each scale. Factor analytic data showed that while two factors were abstracted from the A-Trait scale (Anxiety Present and Anxiety Absent), two (Anxiety Present and Anxiety Absent) or three (Anxiety Present, Calmness, and Happiness) factors were abstracted from the A-State scale. By randomly splitting the total sample into two subsamples, factors extracted from the first two factor-solutions could be reproduced reliably and high coefficients of congruence were found. These findings generally suggest that the Chinese A-State and A-Trait scales possess acceptable psychometric properties and the factor analytic data tend to support Spielberger's conception of the multidimensional nature of the A-State and A-Trait scales.

TL;DR: This article examined the concurrent validity of the Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIS) for both males and females.
Abstract: The present study examined the concurrent validity of the Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children. In all, 267 students (131 males and 136 females), in grades five through eight participated. Pearson product-moment correlations indicated significant relationships between these measures for both males and females. Implications are discussed.

TL;DR: The Spanish adaptation of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was administered along with the Spanish version of the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale in a counterbalanced design to a group of 108 students at a school in Montevideo, Uruguay.
Abstract: Univenidad Catblica del Unrgtray The Spanish adaptation of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (6) was administered along with the Spanish version of the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (2) in a counterbalanced design to a group of 108 students (80 girls, 28 boys) at a school in Montevideo, Uruguay. Students were distributed over grades as indicated: 35 in Grade 9, 27 in Grade 10, 26 in Grade 11, and 20 in Grade 12; the subjects ranged in age from 16 to 19 yr. The State-Trait inventory has two 20-item scales, each item being rated on a 4-point scale, to assess state and trait anxiety of adolescents and adults. Otherwise, the Children's test is a 37-item self-report instrument to assess the level and nature of trait anxiety of children and adolescents. Each item is answered "Yes" or "No," and the Total anxiety score is based on 28 items. The remaining nine (Lie scale) suggest social desirability. Reliabhty and validity of the Spanish version are sat

TL;DR: The scores of state and trait anxiety behavior are comparable to a normal geriatric population, even if normal data cannot always be applied to clinical situations.
Abstract: UNLABELLED Intraocular surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia. The indications for these procedures are often dependent on local circumstances. On the one hand, the optimal conditions for operations under general anesthesia, on the other, the negligible stress of local anesthesia, especially for the elderly, are emphasized. To clarify this question, perioperative anxiety behavior and postoperative pain were investigated in geriatric patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery. METHODS Spielberger's state trait anxiety inventory (STAI) was performed in 31 patients operated on in general (age 71.0 +/- 6.6 SEM) and 31 operated on in local anesthesia (age 71.6 +/- 6.0 SEM) the day before and 4 h after operation. 10 patients in each group were also tested immediately before surgery in the operating room. Postoperative pain was estimated by the patient and postoperative sedation by the investigator using a 4-point scale for each over 8 h. RESULTS The state (STAI 1) and trait (STAI 2) anxiety scores did not change in these geriatric patients. There were no significant differences between the groups. Postoperative pain was significantly (p less than 0.05) higher after 15 and 60 min after general anesthesia. There was no difference in the frequency of analgetic therapy in both groups, but most opioids were given in the first 90 min after general anesthesia. The patients were more frequently sedated (p less than 0.05) in the first 90 min after general anesthesia then after local anesthesia. DISCUSSION The scores of state and trait anxiety behavior are comparable to a normal geriatric population, even if normal data cannot always be applied to clinical situations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

TL;DR: The relationship between some psychosocial factors and serum level of Pepsinogen Group I (PG-I) and gastrinemia have been evaluated in 163 normal subjects using correlation procedures and the percentage of variation explained by these variables was relatively low.
