Abstract: The Adult Manifest Anxiety Scale-College Version (AMAS-C) is a new measure of chronic, manifest anxiety. In the present study, the test score stability and construct validity of the AMAS-C scores were examined in a sample of 208 college undergraduate students. Results of the study found that the AMAS-C scores had adequate to excellent test score stability over a 2-to 3-week period. Evidence supported the construct validity of the AMAS-C scores as various aspects of anxiety. Implications of the findings of the study are discussed.
