Abstract

The Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders: Parent Version (SCARED-P) was originally developed for use in middle childhood and adolescence. The present study examined the psychometric properties and validity of the SCARED-P in an early childhood sample (predominantly aged 4-7 years). The 41-item version of the SCARED-P was administered to the parents of 233 children (mean age = 6.31 years, SD = 1.08; females = 34.3%). Confirmatory factor analysis provided mixed support for the original five-factor model of the SCARED-P. The SCARED-P demonstrated good to excellent internal consistency (total α = .94, subscale α = .68-.89), and good construct validity with the Child Behavior Checklist, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, and the Developmental and Well-being Assessment. These findings indicate overall initial support for the SCARED-P's utility as a measure of anxiety in early childhood, but further psychometric and validation studies are needed in larger community-based samples of young children.

儿童焦虑相关情绪障碍筛查的心理计量特性和有效性：幼儿样本中的家长版（SCARED-P）。

儿童焦虑相关情绪障碍筛查：儿童焦虑相关情绪障碍筛查：家长版》（SCARED-P）最初是为儿童中期和青少年开发的。本研究考察了 SCARED-P 在幼儿样本（主要为 4-7 岁儿童）中的心理测量特性和有效性。233名儿童的家长（平均年龄=6.31岁，标准差=1.08；女性=34.3%）接受了41个项目的SCARED-P问卷调查。确认性因素分析为 SCARED-P 的原始五因素模型提供了混合支持。SCARED-P显示出良好到极佳的内部一致性（总α = .94，子量表α = .68-.89），并且与儿童行为检查表、优势与困难问卷以及发展与幸福评估具有良好的建构效度。这些研究结果表明，SCARED-P 作为幼儿焦虑测量的实用性得到了总体的初步支持，但还需要在更大的社区幼儿样本中进行进一步的心理测量和验证研究。
