An inventory composed of 105 items was administered to 195 psychiatric patients. The items consisted of descriptions of specific types of social situations. The subjects were asked to rate each situation on a Likert scale with respect to the degree of anxiety they experienced and the degree of skill competency they displayed in each of the situations. Data are reported with respect to the test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and factor structure of the inventory. The results of the factor analyses indicated a large general factor for both anxiety and skill, with a number of other factors which appeared to be situationally specific. The utility of the inventory for identifying specific problem areas for patients as an outcome measure in treatment studies and as a means of scaling social situations was discussed.
