Abstract
This study aimed to validate the Lasher and Faulkender Anxiety about Aging Scale (AAS) among 312 Pakistani adults aged 35 to 65. Data was collected from Khyber Pukhtoonkhwa and Punjab. Covariance-based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) in Amos confirmed factorial validity, with all items having standardized regression loadings exceeding 0.60. Construct reliability, assessed through a composite reliability index, surpassed criteria in each factor and overall AAS. Discriminant validity, evaluated using Average Variance Extracted (AVE), was satisfactory. The Urdu version demonstrated strong internal consistency (Anxiety about Aging overall = .93, Fear of Aging = .86, Fear of Physical Changes = .87, Fear of Loss = .86, Fear of the Elderly = .85). Significant correlations with subjective happiness, depression, anxiety, and stress supported convergent and divergent validity. Overall, the Urdu AAS is a psychometrically sound and reliable tool for measuring anxiety about aging in the Pakistani context.
