Social phobia is prevalent during adolescence and is associated with negative outcomes. Two self-report instruments are empirically validated to specifically assess social phobia symptomatology in youth: the Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory for Children and the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents. The Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children is a broad-band measure of anxiety containing a scale assessing the social phobia construct. The present study investigated the MASC Social Anxiety Scale in relation to other well-established measures of social phobia and depression in a non-referred sample of adolescents. Results support the convergent validity of the MASC Social Anxiety Scale and provide some support for its discriminant validity, suggesting its utility in the initial assessment of social phobia. Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROCs) calculated the sensitivity and specificity of the MASC Social Anxiety Scale. Binary logistic regression analyses determined the predictive utility of the MASC Social Anxiety Scale. Implications for assessment are discussed.
社交恐惧症在青少年时期很普遍，并且与负面结果相关。有两种自我报告工具经过实证验证，可专门评估青少年的社交恐惧症症状：儿童社交恐惧症与焦虑量表以及青少年社交焦虑量表。儿童多维焦虑量表是一种广泛的焦虑测量工具，其中包含一个评估社交恐惧症结构的量表。本研究在一个未被转诊的青少年样本中，调查了儿童多维焦虑量表中的社交焦虑量表与其他成熟的社交恐惧症和抑郁测量工具之间的关系。结果支持了儿童多维焦虑量表中社交焦虑量表的聚合效度，并为其区分效度提供了一些支持，表明其在社交恐惧症初始评估中的效用。通过受试者工作特征曲线（ROCs）计算了儿童多维焦虑量表中社交焦虑量表的敏感性和特异性。二元逻辑回归分析确定了儿童多维焦虑量表中社交焦虑量表的预测效用。并讨论了其在评估方面的意义。
