I plan on using the STAI for a reseacrh projext. When I looked into the copyright I was led to a page on a Mind Garden (https://www.mindgarden.com/145-state-trait-anxiety-inventory-for-adults ). According to Min Garden I need to purchase a licenence to reproduce the scale and this allows me to administer the STAI via a paper and pencil survey.
The purchase of the licence is expemsive at $125.00 for 50 copies.
Do I need to purchase the copyright or is there another way to legally gain access to the STAI free of charge?
Kind regards
