title: A manifest anxiety scale from the MMPI-168.
abstract: An established measurement of anxiety that uses MMPI items is Taylor's Manifest Anxiety Scale (MAS). Because the items on the MAS are distributed over the entire MMPI, this measure is not available from a popular short form, the MMPI-168. A new composite anxiety scale that comprises items on the MMPI-168 is described, together with relevant normative statistics and its relationship with other MMPI scales.
