积极和消极影响量表的儿童版本(PANAS；D.Watson，I，.A·克拉克和A·特勒根，1988)，PANAS-C是为4-8年级(N=707)的学生开发的。项目选择是基于心理测量学和理论基础的。由此产生的消极情感(NA)和积极情感(PA)量表与现有的儿童焦虑和抑郁自我报告量表显示出良好的收敛和区分效度；PANAS-C的表现与其成人同名非常相似。总体而言，PANAS-C和成人PANA一样，是一种简单、有用的测量工具，可以用来区分青少年的焦虑和抑郁。因此，这一工具解决了现有儿童焦虑和抑郁测量方法的缺陷。
A child version of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS; D. Watson, I,. A. Clark, & A. Tellegen, 1988), the PANAS-C, was developed using students in Grades 4-8 (N = 707). Item selection was based on psychometric and theoretical grounds. The resulting Negative Affect (NA) and Positive Affect (PA) scales demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validity with existing self-report measures of childhood anxiety and depression; the PANAS-C performed much like its adult namesake. Overall, the PANAS-C, like the adult PANAS, is a brief, useful measure that can be used to differentiate anxiety from depression in youngsters. As such, this instrument addresses the shortcomings of existing measures of childhood anxiety and depression.
