Abstract: | This study aimed at developing and validating the Coronaphobia scale (CPS). This scale assesses fear of covid-19. The CPS consisted of 10 statements; a principal component analysis identified one high loaded factor. A heterogeneous sample of Internet users (n = 544) was recruited online (Facebook and Twitter) (32.1% males, female 67.9 mean age 28.79 years). The reliability test showed that the scale had good internal consistency reliability and Split-Half reliability, Cronbach’s alpha 0.88, and the validity test showed that it had good structure validity, content validity. This scale can be used to assess the fear of covid-19 of people in Algeria and other COVID-19-hit regions and countries. It also provides a reference for future studies on COVID-19 and mental health.it was recommended to use it to assess fear of covid-19. |
