Subscales to the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale in three chronically ill populations.
In a sample of 150 people drawn from a population of asthma, tuberculosis, and chronic pain patients, a key cluster analysis revealed five different clusters of items in the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale: Restlessness, Embarrassment, Sensitivity, Physiological Anxiety, and Self-Confidence. These clusters are consistent and four of them appear moderately related, whereas Embarrassment is fairly independent of the others.
