The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), created by Aaron T. Beck and other colleagues, is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory that is used for measuring the severity of anxiety in children and adults.

Is the Beck Anxiety Inventory valid?

The BAI has excellent overall internal consistency [17,18,19,20,21] and a high test-retest correlation (r = 0.67) [22]. The BAI also demonstrates good concurrent validity, with correlations between 0.78 and 0.81 with the SCL-90 Anxiety Subscale [23], the Hamilton Anxiety Scale [12] and Spielberger’s STAI [17].
