Description: We conducted three studies to gather evidence regarding construct validity and reliability of COVID-19 Anxiety Scale (CAS). In Study 1a, we analyze the content expert analysis (N = 10 expert raters). In Study 1b (N = 30), we perform a pilot study. In Study 2 (N = 352), we analyzed the unifactorial structure and internal consistency of CAS. Finally, in Study 3 (N = 200), we assess the adequacy of the factor structure and gather evidence on convergent-discriminant validity and gender-scale invariance. In summary, our results demonstrate that CAS is a valid and reliable instrument to assess COVID-19 related anxiety.
