^aCorrelation between the item and the remaining items in that subscale of the full SAS‐SR.

^bEach of the work role items (six on the SAS‐SR: Full, three on the SAS‐SR: Short, and two on the SAS‐SR: Screener) appears three times on each instrument to accommodate respondents whose primary work is paid employment, housework, or as a student. Accordingly, there are a total of 18 work role items on the full SAS‐SR, nine on the SAS‐SR: Short, and six on the SAS‐SR: Screener.
