Roemer et al. (A-60) developed a self-report measure of generalized anxiety disorder

(GAD) for use with undergraduate populations. In reliability studies the undergraduate subjects completed the GAD questionnaire (GAD-Q) as well as the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ). The following are the PSWQ scores made by four groups of subjects determined by their GAD status: GAD by questionnaire, Study II (group 1); nonGAD by questionnaire, Study II (group 2); GAD by questionnaire, Study I (group 3); and clinical GAD (group 4).
