Abstract

Introduction: The anxiety sensitivity is a few known theoretical construct, although it has a relevant clinical worth, because it is a powerful predictor of the anxiety disorders, so as in children, as in adolescents and adults. Moreover, in Peru there are few psychometric tests that assess children anxiety, and even fewer about anxiety sensitivity. Objective: In this research, it was made a psychometric analysis of the Childhood Anxiety Sensitivity Index (CASI) with the aim to estimate the validity and reliability of this test that has not been applied in Peruvian population. Method: A non-probabilistic sample of 568 students among 8 and 12 years old was assessed of five elementary school from Arequipa City, in Peru. The data was processed with multiple group confirmatory factor analysis by R program. Results: The results confirm a two factors structure: Fear of body sensations and Fear of mental and social symptoms, with acceptable reliability indexes calculated by McDonald’s Omega Test. Conclusion: The conclusion is that the CASI is valid and reliable; perhaps it is suggested to investigate another psychometric properties of this test.

阿雷基帕市学童焦虑敏感性指数的心理测量分析

焦虑敏感性是一个已知的理论结构，虽然它有相关的临床价值，因为它是一个强大的预测焦虑症，因此在儿童，青少年和成人。此外，在秘鲁，很少有评估儿童焦虑的心理测试，关于焦虑敏感性的测试就更少了。目的:本研究对儿童焦虑敏感指数(CASI)进行了心理测量分析，目的是估计该测试在秘鲁人群中尚未应用的效度和信度。方法:对秘鲁阿雷基帕市5所小学568名8 ~ 12岁学生进行非概率抽样调查。采用R程序对数据进行多组验证性因子分析。结果:研究结果证实了两因素结构:对身体感觉的恐惧和对精神和社会症状的恐惧，并通过麦当劳Omega测试计算出可接受的信度指标。结论:CASI量表有效、可靠;也许我们应该研究一下这个测试的另一个心理测量特性。
