TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - The revised version of the screen for child anxiety related emotional disorders (scared-r): Further evidence for its reliability and validity JO - Anxiety, stress, and coping A1 - Muris, Peter A1 - Merckelbach, Harald A1 - Van Brakel, Anneke A1 - Mayer, Birgit SP - 411 EP - 425 VL - 12 IS - 4 N2 - Abstract The revised version of the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED-R) is a self-report questionnaire that intends to measure symptoms of childhood anxiety disorders as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM; American Psychiatric Association, 1994). The current article presents three studies which examined in more detail the reliability and validity of the SCARED-R. Study 1 (N=101) demonstrated that the SCARED-R possesses satisfactory test-retest stability. Study 2 (N=71) shows that the child-parent agreement of the SCARED-R is rather low. Study 3 (N=88) provides support for the concurrent validity of the SCARED-R. More specifically, SCARED-R scores were correlated in a meaningful way with scores on the Children's Anxiety Scale, a questionnaire that also measures DSM-defined childhood anxiety symptoms.
