Confirmatory Factor Analysis of The Korean Version of The Beck Anxiety Inventory in a Sample of Male Alcoholics

Abstract

The Beck Anxiety Inventory(BAI) has been utilized to assess the level of anxiety symptoms in alcohol- dependent patients. To our knowledge, there have been few studies to examine the factor structure of the BAI in alcohol-dependent patients. This study investigated the factor structure of the Korean version of the BAI in male alcoholics using confirmatory factor analysis(CFA). To compare the goodness of fit of various alternative models, which had previously been reported in the literature, we evaluated the factor structure of the Korean version of the BAI using the CFA in a sample of male alcoholics(n= 786). The results of CFA revealed that the modified hierarchical four factor model provided the best fit to the data. This finding suggests that the Korean BAI is hierarchically structured, with correlated first-order factors of subjective, neurophysiological, autonomic, and panic symptoms loading on a single second-order factor of general anxiety. Finally, the implications and limitations of the current study are discussed.
