Abstract

Abstract: The psychometric characteristics of Maladaptive Self-Focused Attention Scale(MSFAS) are described for 425 undergraduate students. This scale was developed to assess the dispositional maladaptive self-focused attention which could be a important factor in developing and maintaining social anxiety. The preliminary items were mainly collected from the data of social phobic outpatients' interview sheet, psychological assessment records, the self describing records during cognitive behavioral group therapy, and from the relevant existing social anxiety scale items. Through the factor analysis the final 23 items are selected, and three factors are identified; rumination, other-consciousness, and self-absorption. The Cronbach's α is .92 which is a favorable level. Investigating the correlation matrix between MSFAS and other social anxiety scales show that this scale can assess the aspect of maladaptive self consciousness more consistently than existing self consciousness scale(SCS).
