State-Trait Inventory for Cognitive and Somatic Anxiety.

STICSA

What it measures

Anxiety separated into cognitive (worry, apprehensive thoughts) and somatic (physiological arousal) components, each measured as both a momentary state and a stable trait; designed to be less confounded with depression than the STAI

Length and format

21 per scale (state and trait forms; 10 cognitive + 11 somatic each). 4-point (1-4); state = 'right now' (not at all to very much), trait = 'in general' (almost never to almost always); subscale and total scores (self-report questionnaire)
