Nyctophobia Severity Assessment (NSA)

Normative and Psychometric Statistics
DEVELOPING N=31 α=0.913 12Countries

Nyctophobia Severity Assessment (NSA) normative dataset currently contains 31 participant records collected between Jun 28, 2026 and Sep 20, 2026 .

This psychometric dataset currently includes 31 anonymous participant responses collected through voluntary participation. The observed mean score was 54.61 with a standard deviation of 16.07, indicating moderate score variability within the sampled population. Internal consistency reliability analysis demonstrated excellent reliability (Cronbach alpha = 0.913). Observed skewness (-0.45) and kurtosis (-0.33) were examined as indicators of distribution quality. The score distribution appeared reasonably balanced and did not suggest substantial departures from normality.

Item–Total Correlations
Insufficient Sample Size

Item–total correlations are not currently reported because the assessment has fewer than 100 participant responses. Psychometric item analysis requires a larger sample to produce stable and interpretable estimates.

Current Participants: 31
Minimum Recommended: 100

Normative Data Notice

A total of 31 participant responses were available for this assessment. Dimension-level norms were calculated using 31 valid response records. Approximately 0 response record(s) were excluded from dimension-level normative calculations due to incomplete response patterns.

Limitations

Normative statistics are derived from voluntary participation and may not represent all populations. Reliability estimates, percentile norms, and dimension statistics should be interpreted in the context of the current sample and may change as additional responses are collected.
