abstract="OBJECTIVE: Anxiety  sensitivity  (AS)  refers  to  the fear of anxiety-related sensations. The aim of the present study is to investigate the validity and reliability of Childhood Anxiety Sensitivity Index (CASI) and adapting it into Turkish. <br><br>METHOD: The study group consisted of 328 healthy individuals whose age between 8-15 years old. All subjects included in the study filled  out  the  Childhood Anxiety Sensitivity Index (CASI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventories for Children (STAI-C). <br><br>RESULTS: The CASI was found to be significantly related to both trait and state anxiety scores (r=0.42 and r=0.32, respectively). It had a high internal consistency (Cronbach a= 0.74) and good test-retest reliability (r= 0.77, p< 0.001). Explorotary factor analyses showed that the  CASI  is  comprised  of  6 lower-order  factors. However, CASI subfactors was established according to literature as a three factor model: physical, cognitive and social. <br><br>CONCLUSION: According to the present study, the CASI Turkish version was shown to be a valid and a reliable scale.<p /> <p>Language: tr</p>",
