Psychometric validation reveals a 12-item Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale matches the original scale, suggesting high utility for concise psychological assessment.
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.
