使用探索性结构方程模型和加权最小二乘方差估计器，使用501名非洲裔美国人和高加索青年（年龄为11.62岁，249名女孩，49%患有社交焦虑症）的便利样本数据，检查了儿童社交恐惧症和焦虑量表（SPAI-C）的测量不变性和截止分数。对于截止分数，使用接收者操作员特征分析和约登指数来评估敏感性和特异性之间的平衡。总体而言，结果支持SPAI-C的跨种族不变性，但有几个项目出现为非不变性。与过去的研究相比，SPAI-C分界点较低（13至15分范围）。研究结果支持了一项研究，即非裔美国青年的社交焦虑水平通常明显低于（或类似于）白人青年。对非裔美国青年在非不变条件下使用SPAI-C提出了建议，并讨论了使用较低分数线的影响。
Examined measurement invariance and cut-off scores of the Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory for Children (SPAI-C) using data corresponding to a convenience sample of 501 African American and Caucasian youth (Mage = 11.62 years, 249 girls; 49% with social anxiety disorder) using exploratory structural equation modeling and a weighted least squares mean variance estimator. For the cut-off scores, Receiver Operator Characteristic analyses were used along with Youden’s index to evaluate the balance between sensitivity and specificity. Overall, results supported the SPAI-C’s cross-race invariance but a few items emerged as non-invariant. Compared to past research, lower SPAI-C cutoff scores were found (13 to 15 range). Findings support research showing that African American youth generally have significantly lower (or similar) social anxiety levels than their White counterparts. Suggestions for using the SPAI-C with African American under non-invariant conditions youth are provided and implications of using lower cutoff scores are discussed.
