The Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) assesses the fear and avoidance associated with social anxiety and has been validated in several languages. The present study describes the adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the Amharic version of the LSAS in Ethiopian university student samples. Two studies were carried out. In the first study, 429 participants completed a survey, including demographic information, and the Amharic version of the LSAS. In the second study, 32 participants completed a survey comprising demographic information and the Amharic version of the LSAS. The participants were recruited using a convenience sampling method. The findings suggest a two-factor solution (CFI = 0.92, TLI = 0.92, and RMSEA = 0.06) consistent with the original factor structure and excellent reliability coefficient. Finally, the Amharic version of the LSAS can demonstrate good sensitivity to treatments (solution-focused and social skills training groups) in a nonclinical sample of university students in Ethiopia. Taken together, the present findings indicate that the LSAS is a suitable psychometric measure to assess social anxiety in Ethiopia.

利勃维茨社交焦虑量表(LSAS)评估与社交焦虑相关的恐惧和避免,并已通过多种语言进行了验证。本研究描述了埃塞俄比亚大学生样本中LSAS的阿姆哈拉语版本的适应性和心理测评。进行了两项研究。在第一项研究中,有429名参与者完成了一项调查,其中包括人口统计信息以及LSAS的阿姆哈拉语版本。在第二项研究中,有32位参与者完成了一项调查,该调查包括人口统计学信息和LSAS的阿姆哈拉语版本。使用便利抽样方法招募参与者。研究结果表明,与原始因素结构和出色的可靠性系数一致的两因素解决方案(CFI = 0.92,TLI = 0.92和RMSEA = 0.06)。最后,LSAS的阿姆哈拉语版本可以证明对埃塞俄比亚大学生的非临床样本中的治疗(以解决方案为重点的社交技能培训小组)具有良好的敏感性。综上所述,本研究结果表明,LSAS是评估埃塞俄比亚社交焦虑的合适心理测量方法。
