Developmental characteristics of trait anxiety in Chinese young soldiers
Objective To investigate the developmental characteristics of trait-anxiety in Chinese young soldiers. Methods Trait anxiety inventory (TAI) was employed to evaluate 4 695 Chinese young soldiers at an age of 16 to 28 years through group testing
to study the developmental characteristics of trait-anxiety. The reliability and validity of the survey were analyzed. All data were compared in the gender
age
service years and military rank by multi-ANVOA. Results TAI items anal
ysis indicated that the correlation were in 0.37 to 0.67 between each item score and the total score (
P
0.01)
with the Cronbach alpha of 0.860
the split-half reliabilities of 0.82
and the repeated reliabilities of 0.79 in Chinese young soldiers. The results showed that TAI had good reliability and discrimination in Chinese young soldiers and could be used as assessment tool to evaluate the trait-anxiety in the sample of Chinese soldiers. The norm of TAI score was 44.42±8.89 in Chinese soldiers
and was 44.33±8.84 for the male ones and 46.62±9.65 for the females. Compared with the score of the male
the one of the female was increased obviously (
P
0.05)
and the difference was mainly in the samples at the age of 16 to 19 years. An obvious main effect was found among ages in the trait-anxiety in the soldiers (F=2.23
P
0.05)
and it showed a rising then falling trend. Another obvious main effect was found among service years in the trait-anxiety (F=3.36
P
0.05)
and it showed an“upward and downward” trend. The TAI score was obviously higher in the land forces than in the air force and navy (F=15.55
P
0.01)
and in the officers than the in the soldiers (F=23.01
P
0.01). Conclusion There are obvious developmental characteristics in gender
age
service year
military rank and services in trait anxiety of Chinese young soldiers.
