MLMark R. Leary

Key Points

  • To develop and evaluate a brief, 12-item version of the Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale to overcome administration limits caused by scale length.
  • Constructed a shortened 12-item questionnaire based on the original Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale.
  • Assessed psychometric properties and evaluated the statistical correlation between the brief scale and the full-length version.
  • The brief 12-item scale correlated very strongly with the full-length scale (r = .96).
  • Psychometric properties of the 12-item version were nearly identical to those of the full-length scale.

Abstract

Although the Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE) Scale has widespread applicability to many areas of research in personality and social psychology, its utility is sometimes limited by its length. This article presents a brief, 12-item version of the FNE that correlates very highly (f96) with the original scale and that demonstrates psychometric properties that are nearly identical to those of the full-length scale.
