What is the best way to handle the task? Imagine you were asked to give a scale construction proposal to a group of hypothetical Ph.D. students. The presentation should include the definition of ANXIETY as the construct on which I intend to make a scale, the existing tools measuring it, and other related studies. Also, have my justification and rationale for my construction. More importantly, I discuss how I will construct the items and the item response scales, analyze the items' reliabilities, and establish the scale's validity.
