The Beck Anxiety Inventory is a well-accepted self-report measure of anxiety in adults and adolescents for use in both clinical and research settings. It is a 21-item multiple-choice self-report inventory that measures intensity of anxiety in adults and adolescents. Using the somatic and cognitive descriptors, it is said to discriminate anxiety from depression but studies have been conflicted on this point. The scale has mostly been used from ages that range from 17-80 with focus on adolescents. Research on reliability of BAI is unclear due to various factors, but the BAI seems to be psychometrically sound. Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) ranges from .92 to .94 for adults and test-retest (one week interval) reliability is .75. It uses as diagnostic tool and baseline measure is widespread due mainly to its easiness of application and its possibility of repeatability. The BAI has evolved into another measure used for youth (14-18) called the BAI-Y. Although popularly used, it is said to have its limitations such as to make weak distinctions between anxiety and depression, to be used mainly on somatic descriptions, and to vary dependent on factors such as age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic factors. Nonetheless, it may serve as valuable tool for assessing and diagnosing anxiety disorders.
