Summary

The Pediatric Anger Expression Scale-3rd edition (PAES-III) has psychometric limitations in assessing children's anger expression. Modifications may improve its use in pediatric behavioral medicine research for children with chronic illnesses.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Psychology
  • Behavioral Medicine
  • Child Psychiatry

Background:

  • Anger expression styles impact adult well-being, but their role in children is understudied.
  • Validated tools for measuring children's anger expression are lacking.
  • The Pediatric Anger Expression Scale-3rd edition (PAES-III) is a proposed instrument for assessing anger expression in children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the psychometric properties of the PAES-III administered verbally.
  • To assess the reliability and validity of the PAES-III in children with chronic illnesses and healthy controls.

Main Methods:

  • Verbal administration of the PAES-III to children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile diabetes mellitus, and healthy children.
  • Analysis of internal consistency, concurrent validity, and factor structure using principal components analysis.

Main Results:

  • Adequate internal consistency for anger-in and anger-out scales, but marginal for anger-control.
  • Concurrent validity was supported for the total sample.
  • Principal components analysis suggested a four-factor model, differing from the proposed three-factor structure.

Conclusions:

  • The PAES-III demonstrates psychometric limitations, particularly concerning the anger-control scale.
  • A modified version of the PAES-III may be beneficial for research in pediatric behavioral medicine.
  • Further research is needed to refine anger expression measurement in children with chronic conditions.
