本研究旨在探讨儿童焦虑敏感度指数（CASI）的项目属性，因素结构，以及项目的收敛，判别和增量效度。一个大样本的儿童和青少年焦虑症（N = 228）进行半结构化的临床访谈和自我报告的措施，焦虑敏感性，焦虑和抑郁。总体而言，CASI被发现表现出良好的收敛性和判别性质的关系，临床医生评定的恐慌和广泛性焦虑的严重程度，分别。结果确定了一个子集的项目（自主项目），表现出心理测量特性上级TD的全量表，在儿童（7至二岁）和青少年（12至17岁）的子样本。研究结果指出了继续调查儿童和青少年AS临床评估的策略。
This study examined the item properties, factor structure, and convergent, discriminant, and incremental validity of items on the Childhood Anxiety Sensitivity Index (CASI). A large sample of children and adolescents with anxiety disorders (N = 228) was administered semistructured clinical interviews and self-report measures of anxiety sensitivity, anxiety, and depression. Overall, the CASI was found to exhibit good convergent and discriminant properties in relation to clinician-rated panic and generalized anxiety severity, respectively. Results identified a subset of items (autonomic items) that demonstrated psychometric properties superior td the full scale, in both child (7 to ii years) and adolescent (12 to 17 years) subsamples. The findings point to strategies for continued investigation regarding the clinical assessment of AS in children and adolescents.
