Comparative StudyGerman version of the Kuwait University Anxiety Scale: psychometric parameters.
A German translation of the Kuwait University Anxiety Scale, written originally in Arabic, was prepared. A sample of 207 men and women German college students was recruited. Coefficient alpha was .88, whereas the item-remainder correlations ranged from .21 to .63, denoting good internal consistency. ⋯ German students scored lower (less anxious) than students from the U. S. and 18 Arab countries. The sex difference was not significant for the German sample.
