1) State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is abbreviated as STAI to distinguish short-term anxiety

state from personality trait anxiety tendency. It is not only suitable for children from junior high
school to adult stage, but also for children in childhood stage.

The scale can be used to assess anxiety of medical, surgical, psychosomatic and psychiatric
patients, to screen anxiety problems of College students, soldiers and other occupational groups,
and to evaluate the effect of psychotherapy and drug treatment.
State anxiety is a description of an unpleasant emotional experience, such as tension, fear,
anxiety and neuroticism, accompanied by autonomic (vegetative) neurological hyperfunction,
which is generally transient. Trait anxiety is used to describe relatively stable anxiety tendency
with individual differences as a personality trait. The purpose of the scale is to provide a tool for
clinicians and behaviorists to differentiate short-term anxiety state from personality trait anxiety
tendency, and to serve different research purposes and clinical practice.
There are 40 items in this scale. The first to the twentieth item is the State Anxiety Scale (S-
AI). It is mainly used to assess immediate or recent experience or feelings of fear, tension, anxiety
and neuroticism at a specific time or situation. It can also be used to assess the level of state
anxiety under stress. Items 21 to 40 are trait anxiety scale (T-AI), which is used to assess people's
frequent emotional experiences. This scale is especially suitable for anxiety patients. It is a self-
assessment scale with good reliability and validity.
Each item of the scale is assessed by 4 grades of 1-4. The first 20 items (state anxiety) are as
follows: 1 is totally non-existent, 2 is some, 3 is moderate, 4 is very obvious; the last 20 items
(trait anxiety) are as follows: 1 is almost never, 2 is sometimes, 3 is often, 4 is almost always the
case. The reverse scoring is 4, 3, 2 and 1 points in the above order. The cumulative scores of S-AI
and T-AI scales were calculated, with a minimum of 20 points and a maximum of 80 points. The
higher the score on a scale, the higher the anxiety level of the subjects.

3) Mental Health Diagnostic Test (MHT):

Professor Zhou Bucheng of East China Normal University translated and revised the Manual
of Mental Health Diagnostic Test (MHT) in 1991. The scale contains 100 questions. It is suitable
for the overall mental health test of primary and secondary school students. It consists of a
validity measurement table, eight content subscales and one validity measurement table. The
eight contents are learning anxiety, human anxiety, loneliness, self-blame, allergy, physical
symptoms, terror and impulse.
This test belongs to group test (it can also be carried out individually). When the test is
carried out, a copy of "MHT Answer Paper" is given to each person first, which requires that
provinces, municipalities, districts, counties, schools, grades, classes, school numbers, names,
genders and test dates be filled in. All the above must be filled in accurately and correctly. After
each person has filled in the above items, he or she will send out a test book. Students should
turn to the second, third and fourth parts of the explanation and listen to the teacher while
watching. At the same time, they should do a good job of exemplar exercises. After students have
mastered the way of answering questions, they can open the book for formal tests.
[Guidelines]
This test is to investigate your mood and feelings, not to test intelligence and learning ability.
It has nothing to do with academic performance. There are no good or bad answers. Please
answer as you usually think. In this test, there are only two alternative answers to each question:
yes and No. If yes is chosen, then, if no is selected, then. Please fill in the brackets at the end of
the question. Attention should also be paid to the following matters:
(1) Answer truthfully as you usually think.
(2) Every question should be answered, but only one answer can be chosen. When it is
difficult to decide, please choose the answer that is close to you.
(3) If you don't understand something, you can raise your hand and ask the teacher.
(4) When revising the answer, clean it with an eraser.
(5) There is no time limit for answering, but don't think too much about it. Write the answer
you first thought of.
