Brief Phobia Scales

Brief Phobia Scales are a collection of short, focused self-report instruments designed to measure fear and anxiety related to specific phobias such as agoraphobia, claustrophobia, fear of flying, fear of heights, and other circumscribed fears. Developed by various researchers including Woody and Lohr, these scales provide rapid, phobia-specific assessment in clinical and research settings, valued for their brevity and practical utility in treatment planning and outcome monitoring.
