Now we wrote a piece about many things we always wanted to say about replications.

How they are used, tracked and valued by the science community. And how we can evaluate their results, whatever those may be 🤔

Assessing the long-term Stability of the Spielberger State-Trait Inventory trait scale over 3.5 Years
The Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is the most cited measure of state and trait anxiety, and is routinely employed in a variety of research and clinical contexts. Here, we investigat...

2️⃣ We provide further evidence that the STAI-T isn't just about anxiety – it shares substantial variance with other constructs that (broadly) measure negative emotionality (like depression). Hence, the STAI-T is less "anxiety-specific" than its name suggests.

1️⃣ We found that the temporal stability of the STAI-T is pretty similar to that of related constructs, with higher stability over shorter time intervals (r = .81–.87 up to 1 year) compared to longer ones (r = .42–.67 over ~2–3.5 years).

We wanted to know:
1️⃣ How stable is the STAI-T over time (5 months to 3.5 years, also compared to related constructs)?
2️⃣ Is there more evidence that the STAI-T in fact does not specifically measure trait anxiety, as claimed?
