Cross-Cultural Anxiety Measure

What is it about?

Gudykunst and Nishida (2001) measure anxiety using 11 items adapted from Stephan and Stephan (1985). Responses were on a seven-point Likert scale, ranging from ‘strongly disagree’ to ‘strongly agree’. We adapted three items, with high internal consistency, from Gudykunst and Nishida (2001) (e.g. ‘I get anxious around people from other cultures’, ‘When I meet someone from another culture I get very nervous’, ‘Travelling in lands where I can’t read the street names gives me anxiety’).
