This study assessed the psychometric properties of self-reports on the Hellenic Fear Survey Schedule for Children (FSSC-GR), a Greek-language version of Ollendick's FSSC-R [Behav. Res. Ther. 21 (1983) 685-692], and explored the factor structure, intensity, prevalence, and content of fears of Hellenic children aged 7-12 years. Internal consistency and temporal stability assessments of responding on the FSSC-GR were comparable to those obtained on the FSSC-R. A seven-factor solution provided the best conceptual fit for the structure of children's fears in Greece, including five components similar to factors previously obtained for the FSSC-R, plus two unique components, "Travel and Agoraphobic Fears" and "School Performance Fears." Fear intensity and prevalence scores of Hellenic children were higher than scores observed in most countries. Self-reported fear scores were higher for Hellenic girls than for boys. The relation between age and self-reported fears in Greece was complex and interpreted in relation to age-related changes in environmental demands.
本研究评估了希腊语版儿童恐惧调查量表(FSSC-GR)自我报告的心理测量特性,该量表是奥伦迪克的FSSC-R的希腊语版本[《行为研究与治疗》21(1983)685-692],并探讨了7至12岁希腊儿童恐惧的因素结构、强度、患病率和内容。对FSSC-GR作答的内部一致性和时间稳定性评估与在FSSC-R上获得的评估相当。一个七因素解决方案为希腊儿童恐惧结构提供了最佳概念拟合,包括五个与先前FSSC-R获得的因素相似的成分,以及两个独特成分,即“旅行和广场恐惧”以及“学业成绩恐惧”。希腊儿童的恐惧强度和患病率得分高于大多数国家观察到的得分。希腊女孩自我报告的恐惧得分高于男孩。希腊年龄与自我报告恐惧之间的关系很复杂,并根据与年龄相关的环境需求变化进行了解释。
