Key result
The Spanish adaptation of the Anxious Thoughts Inventory (AnTI) demonstrated high internal consistency (0.83 to 0.86) and test-retest reliability (r = 0.71) in a clinical population.

The Spanish adaptation of the AnTI is a reliable and valid measure of anxious worry in clinical populations.
Supports Spanish AnTI use in clinical anxiety assessment; extends English validation but leaves broader applicability open.
Objective This study shows the psychometric characteristics and factor structure of the Spanish adaptation to a clinical population of an instrument for measuring anxious worry, the Anxious Thought Inventory (AnTI). Method Participants were 731 adults treated at a community mental Health Center in Spain with different clinical diagnoses. Results The adaptation of the AnTI scale to the Spanish clinical population confirms the three original dimensions, social worry, health worry and meta-worry, with adequate fit. High internal consistency (from .83 to .86) was found for the three subscales, and test–retest reliability after a period of 8–10 weeks was high ( r = .71). Furthermore, significant correlations were found with other worry, anxiety and general psychopathology scales. Conclusions This Spanish adaptation of the AnTI in a clinical population is a reliable, valid measure of anxious worry. Therefore, it is a useful instrument for use in care contexts.

Morejón et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Anxious worry in clinical diagnoses (n=731). Anxious Thoughts Inventory (AnTI) Spanish adaptation was evaluated on Psychometric characteristics including internal consistency and test-retest reliability (r = 0.71). The Spanish adaptation of the Anxious Thoughts Inventory (AnTI) demonstrated high internal consistency (0.83 to 0.86) and test-retest reliability (r = 0.71) in a clinical population.
