Glossary State-Trait Anxiety Inventory

psychological tool measuring temporary and long-term anxiety levels

The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is a psychological assessment tool used to measure two types of anxiety: state anxiety, which is temporary and situation-specific, and trait anxiety, which is a more general and long-term characteristic of an individual. It consists of a series of questions that help differentiate between these two forms of anxiety, providing valuable insights for both clinical diagnosis and research.
