Siddiqui and Shah Anxiety Scale Urdu
The Siddiqui and Shah Anxiety Scale Urdu is a measure that assesses the levels of anxiety in individuals. The scale consists of 20 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), and covers cognitive, somatic, and behavioral symptoms of anxiety. The scale has been used extensively in several studies and has been found to have good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. For example, in the present research, data from Study III revealed that the scale has a high internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .84.
In addition to reliability, the scale has been shown to have good criterion and construct validity. In terms of criterion validity, the Siddique and Shah Anxiety Scale has been found to be significantly associated with other measures of anxiety, such as the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (r=.75, p<.01) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (r=.56, p<.01), indicating that the scale is measuring the same construct as these measures.
In terms of construct validity, the scale was found to have high correlations with measures of depression and low self-esteem, indicating that anxiety is related to these constructs. This provides further evidence that the Siddique and Shah Anxiety Scale is measuring a unique construct related to anxiety.
Overall, the Siddique and Shah Anxiety Scale is a reliable and valid measure of anxiety that can be used to assess the levels of anxiety in individuals. Its use in research examining the relationship between self-esteem and anxiety provides insights into the negative relationship between high self-esteem and anxiety, which has important implications for future research and interventions targeting individuals with high self-esteem who may be at risk of developing anxiety disorders.
