The Endler Multidimensional Anxiety Scales (EMAS) are three related self-report measures that allow greater precision in assessing and predicting anxiety across situationsand in measuring treatment response. They can be used with a wide range of people, including adolescents, adults, clinical patients, the elderlyanyone who reads at an eighth-grade level or higher. |
|
The first scale, the EMAS-State (EMAS-S), measures state anxietythe individuals actual transitory anxiety response. It assesses both physiological and cognitive responses. The second scale, EMAS-Trait (EMAS-T), measures the individuals predisposition to experience anxiety in four different types of situations: socially-evaluative, physically dangerous, new or ambiguous, and routine. The third scale, EMAS-Perception (EMAS-P), evaluates the individuals perception of the type and intensity of threat in the immediate situation. |
|
The scales can be given separately or as a set. All three can be administered to individuals or groups, and hand scored, in just 25 minutes. EMAS can also be computer scored, using WPS TEST REPORT prepaid Mail-In Answer Sheets, CD, or FAX Service. All provide a complete interpretive report. |
|
Extensively used in both clinical and research settings, these scales provide a multidimensional assessment of anxiety. They are particularly useful in measuring anxiety across situations and in response to treatment. |

EMAS Social Anxiety Scales |
|
The EMAS Social Anxiety Scales (EMAS-SAS) extend the clinical utility of the original EMAS by assessing separation and self-disclosure anxiety plus related situational perceptions. The five scales measure the following: |
|
|
|
|
Separation anxiety |
|
Self-Disclosure anxiety related to friends |
|
Self-Disclosure anxiety related to family |
|
Perception of a given situation as involving separation anxiety |
|
Perception of a given situation as involving self-disclosure anxiety |
|
|
|
|
Although the EMAS-SAS can be used alone, there are benefits to administering it along with the EMAS. Together they evaluate six facets of trait anxiety: social evaluation, physical danger, ambiguous situation, daily routines, separation, and self-disclosure (to family and to friends). |
|
The EMAS-SAS is available only in a hand-scored format.
