    Summary

    This study analyzed the internal structure of the Manifest Anxiety Scale using cluster analysis. Results identified three distinct anxiety components: generalized anxiety, physiological symptoms, and worry-tension.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychological Measurement
    • Anxiety Research

    Background:

    • The Manifest Anxiety Scale (MAS) is a widely used self-report measure.
    • Understanding the MAS's internal structure is crucial for accurate anxiety assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the underlying structure of the Manifest Anxiety Scale.
    • To identify distinct components within the scale through empirical analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Voluntary participation of graduate students in completing the MAS.
    • Application of cluster analysis to examine the scale's internal structure.

    Main Results:

    • A three-cluster solution emerged as the most parsimonious and meaningful.
    • Cluster I represented generalized anxiety (60% of items).
    • Cluster II comprised physiological concomitants of anxiety.
    • Cluster III identified a worry-tension component.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings support a multi-component model of anxiety as measured by the MAS.
    • This structural understanding can refine interpretations of MAS scores.
    • The results contribute to the broader literature on anxiety assessment and measurement.
