What this beck anxiety inventory bai measures
This beck anxiety inventory bai estimates self-reported anxiety symptom signals patterns across four domains. Twenty-two original frequency items group into worry thoughts, tension body, fear arousal, somatic panic. Each item also maps to a fear-of-intimacy stack layer. A second results chart inspired by FOIS-style intimacy avoidance themes from Descutner and Thelen (1991), adapted to this topic. Your anxiety symptom index averages these patterns into a 0 to 100 score where higher numbers mean more endorsed anxiety symptom signals on this screener, not a clinical diagnosis.
