Results indicated that the C19P-SE has adequate reliability (alpha = .93) along with factorial, discriminant, and convergent validity. Results of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the four-factor structure of the C19P-SE. Concurrent validity results indicate a significant positive correlation between coronaphobia and state anxiety (r = .67, p < .001), suggesting that individuals with higher levels of coronaphobia may also have higher levels of state anxiety or vice versa. Further, we found a multivariate difference in coronaphobia between men and women.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess[Keyword Not Available]Article463553559333851902-s2.0-85098638570Q1WOS:000604050900001Q210.1080/07481187.2020.1848945
