Methods: A total of 598 undergraduates, 259 high school students were administered five self-reported scales: Social Avoidance and Distress Scale, Interaction Anxiousness Scale, Self-rating Anxiety Scale, Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale, and Self-Rating Depression Scale. Results: Cronbach α of SAD was 0.85. The test-retest correlation was 0.76. The results of confirmatory factor analyses supported its 2-factor model. The correlation scores of SAD with the homogeneous scales were higher than that with heterogeneous scales. Conclusion: SAD had good psychometric properties applied in Chinese students.展开更多
