This study found a strong correlation of .72 between the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders and the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children in children. Subtest correlations ranged from .35 to .63, indicating good agreement between the anxiety measures.

Area of Science:

  • Child and Adolescent Psychology
  • Psychometric Assessment
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Anxiety disorders are prevalent in children, necessitating reliable assessment tools.
  • Existing measures may not capture the full spectrum of childhood anxiety.
  • Development of new, validated instruments is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the convergent validity of two new child anxiety questionnaires.
  • To determine the correlation between the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) and the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC).
  • To examine the relationship between specific subscales of both instruments.

Main Methods:

  • A correlational study design was employed.

  • Participants included 54 boys and 54 girls.
  • Data were collected using the SCARED and MASC questionnaires.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant positive correlation of .72 was found between the overall scores of SCARED and MASC.
    • Correlations for subtests ranged from .35 to .63, demonstrating moderate to strong agreement.
    • These findings support the concurrent validity of both anxiety assessment tools.

    Conclusions:

    • The Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders and the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children are highly correlated, suggesting they measure similar constructs of childhood anxiety.
    • Both instruments demonstrate good psychometric properties for assessing anxiety in children.
    • These findings support the use of both SCARED and MASC in clinical and research settings for child anxiety evaluation.
