Re-test of State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) among engineering students in Malaysia: Reliability and validity tests

Various tests have been conducted using the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and it has provided adequate evidence to measure anxiety in research and clinical settings. This paper proposes a re-test to evaluate STAI among engineering students in Malaysia. A total 253 engineering students partici...
