本研究的目的是评估儿童多维焦虑量表（MASC）的心理测量学和临床效率，该量表测量身体症状、伤害回避、社交焦虑和分离/恐慌。使用190例寻求治疗的挪威青年（年龄7-13岁，法师= 10.3岁，62.1%男性）的样本，检查了儿童、母亲和父亲关于MASC报告的内部稳定性和预测疾病的能力。在所有MASC分量表中均表现出中等至较强的内部可靠性。亲子一致性较低，但母亲与父亲的一致性较高。MASC评分成功区分了患有和没有焦虑症的儿童，并识别出患有分离焦虑症和社交恐惧症的青少年，但不太准确地识别出了广泛性焦虑症。MASC具有良好的心理测量学特性，是一个有用的筛选工具，用于识别青少年焦虑症。
The objective of this study is to evaluate the psychometrics and clinical efficiency of the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC), which measures physical symptoms, harm avoidance, social anxiety, and separation/panic. Using a sample of 190 treatment-seeking Norwegian youth (aged 7–13 years,Mage= 10.3 years, 62.1% male), the internal stability and ability to predict to disorder were examined for child, mother, and father reports on the MASC. Moderate to strong internal reliability was exhibited across all MASC subscales. Parent–child agreement was low, but mother–father agreement was high. MASC scores successfully distinguished between children with and without anxiety disorders and identified youth with separation anxiety disorder and social phobia, but less accurately generalized anxiety disorders. The MASC has favorable psychometric properties and is a useful screening instrument for identifying youth with anxiety disorders.
