The author develops a 23-item instrument for the assessment of problem-oriented anxiety as a multidimensional concept, breaking down the usual anxiety scales that measure a level of anxiety as a simple concept. Discussion of the conceptualization and operational functions used in constructing and refining the multiple-item scale to measure problem-oriented anxiety as a construct are described. Also presented is evidence that the scale has been validated through assessment of content validity, predictive validity, and construct validity.
