A-State and A-Trait, c = 0Æ71; Taylor-Piliae &
Molassotis 2001: state anxiety a = 0Æ93; trait-anxiety
a = 0Æ88). Sheu (2000) also found that A-Trait and A-State
scores were differentially sensitive to chronic mental health
attributes and acute symptoms. The study showed that both
scales of the C-STAI correlated significantly with other
measures of psychological well-being, including the Chinese
Beck Depression Inventory and the Chinese Somatic Scale.
These findings provided evidence of concurrent validity.
