title: The Fear Survey Schedule III and its correlation with personality in Egyptian samples.
abstract: An Arabic version of the 108 item Wolpe-Lang Fear Survey Schedule (FSS III) was administered to four Egyptian groups of undergraduates, in order to estimate test reliability. One-week interval stability coefficients for the total test score were 0.79 for males and 0.86 for females. Internal consistency (odd vs even) coefficients were 0.96 for males and 0.95 for females. It was concluded that the reliability of the Arabic version of the FSS had been adequately demonstrated. The Arabic FSS was correlated with several personality tests with results mostly in keeping with Western studies.
