摘要：Objective To analyse the convergent and incremental validity of Single-Item of Test Anxiety (SITA) in psychology college students from Lima, Peru. Materials and methods The sample consisted of 314 students (64.9% women) between 18 and 55 years old. The Emotional Exhaustion Scale, Academic Situations Specific Perceived Self-efficacy Scale, Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI), and the SITA were used. A comparative analysis was performed using a one-way ANOVA (convergent validity) and hierarchical regression (incremental validity). The reliability was analysed using coefficient alpha with confidence intervals. Results The comparative analysis provided evidence of convergent validity. SITA is positively associated with Emotional Exhaustion Scale and TAI, and negatively with Academic Situations Specific Perceived Self-efficacy Scale. As regards incremental validity, SITA significantly influences the variability of TAI scores. The reliability coefficients were also adequate. Conclusions The evidence of convergent and incremental validity of SITA was satisfactory. The scope and limitations of the study are discussed.
