As a measure for anxiety of teachers, scales and questionnaires already available are not suitable because they do not identify an individual's susceptibility to a specific context according to his/her emotional status. In this research our aim was to develop and validate a Content-Based State Anxiety Questionnaire for Primary and Middle School Teachers (CSAQ-PMT) in China. We carried out the study by first reviewing theories on state anxiety and then by conducting interviews and surveys using relevant available inventories. Our results showed that the CSAQ-PMT had good criterion validity and internal consistency in reliability, and the structural validity was high. We expect our research results to contribute to the development and application of such scales in domain-specific areas.
