State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y

The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y (STAI-Y) is a standardized questionnaire used to measure two types of anxiety: "state" anxiety, which is how anxious a person feels at a specific moment, and "trait" anxiety, which reflects their usual level of anxiety over time. It helps mental health professionals understand both temporary feelings and general tendencies toward anxiety. The survey consists of statements that individuals respond to, indicating how much they agree or how often they experience certain feelings. This information assists in diagnosing, planning treatment, and monitoring anxiety-related conditions.
