What does BAI stand for?

Furthermore, the measurement of anxiety's level among the respondents is conducted by using Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI).

An analysis of PsycINFO, from 2000-2005, showed that the Beck Anxiety Inventory and the Anxiety Sensitivity Index had the highest hit rates.

We used six questions from the Beck Anxiety Inventory and randomly surveyed 50 runners in the Philadelphia Marathon about their mood before training, and during training up until one week before race day.

Beck Anxiety Inventory The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI; Beck & Steer, 1990) is a 21-item self-report measure designed to assess the severity of primarily somatic anxiety symptoms experienced by respondents during the previous week.

Subjects also filled out the Beck Anxiety Inventory questionnaire to assess their preprocedure anxiety level.

The 324 subjects underwent ultrasonographic assessment of carotid intimal medial thickness (IMT), a noninvasive measure of subclinical atherosclerosis, as well as tests evaluating emotional factors, including the Beck Depression Inventory, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Cooke-Medley Hostility Scale, and the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory.

Support for the concurrent validity of the AAQ has been provided by its relationship with measures of general psychological dysfunction such as the Brief Symptom Inventory (Derogatis, 1992) as well as more specific forms of psychopathology including the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck, Epstein, Brown, & Steer, 1988).

Using self-report measures to assess individual anxiety, the researchers found a significant relationship between the Health Anxiety Inventory-Short Version (SHAI) and the Body Vigilance Scale, the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-Revised Respiratory, Cardiologic, and Cognitive subscales, the Penn State Worry Questionnaire, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory.
