The Activity Preference Questionnaire (APQ) measures anxiety proneness but has drawbacks. A new rating format retains APQ advantages while avoiding its disadvantages for better anxiety assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • The Activity Preference Questionnaire (APQ) is utilized for assessing anxiety proneness.
  • The APQ's forced-choice format presents certain limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a modified rating format for the APQ.
  • To determine if a rating format can overcome the APQ's forced-choice drawbacks while retaining its benefits.

Main Methods:

  • Data were collected and analyzed to compare a rating format with the original forced-choice format of the APQ.
  • Psychometric properties of both formats were assessed.

Main Results:

  • The rating format of the APQ demonstrated potential to avoid the disadvantages associated with the forced-choice method.

  • The rating format successfully incorporated the advantages of the original APQ format.

    • Conclusions:

    • A rating format offers a viable alternative to the APQ's forced-choice structure.
    • This modified format may enhance the measurement of anxiety proneness.
