Internal consistency and intercorrelations range from .86 to

.90 for PA and .84 to .87 for NA. As expected the

correlation between PA and NA is low, ranging from -.12 to -

.23. Test-retest reliability after 1 week were .47 to .68

for PA and .39 to .71 for NA. Correlations with Hopkins

Symptom Checklist, Beck Depression Inventory, and State-

Trait Anxiety Scale (state anxiety) is .51 to .74 for NA and

-.19 to .36 for PA.
