A Study on the Measurement of Social Anxiety

Abstract

An attempt has been made to develop a self-reported scale to measure the dispositional social anxiety. This study translated Leary's(1983) Interaction Anxiousness Scale(IAS) in Korean and explored the reliability and validity of the Korean-version IAS. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability were psychometically approvable. The IAS was significantly correlated with STAI-Trait scale, BDI, and the Interpersonal Sensitivity(I-S) symptom dimension of SCL-90-R. As predicted, the IAS was more highly correlated with I-S of SCL-90-R than STAI-Trait or BDI. These results suggest that the Korean-version IAS can be used to measure the interaction anxiousness in college students.
