Abstract EN

This study aims at identifying the number effect of response scaling categories of anxiety trait scale on its psychometric characteristics The study is applied on a sample of (352) male and female undergraduate students of Yarmouk University who are registered in the first semester 2017/2018 and selected randomly and hierarchically.

Results concerning discriminated coefficients have also highlighted the existence of statistically significant differences at the function level (α=0.05) in discriminated coefficients between the triple scaling and the quatrain scaling in favor of the quatrain, and between the triple scaling and the quinary scaling in favor if the quinary.

The quinary scaling shows high reliability in comparison with the triple scaling and the quatrain scaling

Abstract FRE

Cette étude vise à identifier l’effet numérique des catégories de traits d’anxiété sur l’échelle numérique sur ses caractéristiques psychométriques.

choisis au hasard et hiérarchiquement.

Les résultats concernant les coefficients discriminés ont également mis en évidence l’existence de différences statistiquement significatives au niveau de la fonction (α = 0,05) dans les coefficients discriminés entre les échelles triple et quatrain en faveur du quatrain , et entre les échelles triple et quinaire en faveur si le quinary.

La mise à l'échelle quinaire montre une grande fiabilité par rapport à la mise à l'échelle triple et à la mise à l'échelle quatrain.
