Availability of brief, self-report measures to be used as screening instruments is crucial to detect correctly youth with social anxiety disorder and therefore, reach those otherwise under-detected and under-treated. A previous study revealed that the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) was potentially an appropriate measure for screening social anxiety among US adolescents. However, there is a lack of information concerning its properties as a screening test in other cultures and languages. This is the main objective of this study, although further validity of the scale is provided as well. The sample consisted of 192 adolescents (a sample composed of 114 subjects with a principal diagnosis of social anxiety disorder; and a group consisting of 78 subjects with no diagnosis of social phobia). Results suggest that the Social Phobia Inventory has demonstrated good psychometric properties and indeed may be used as a screening tool in Spanish-speaking adolescents.
简短的、自我报告的测量工具的可用性对于正确检测出患有社交焦虑症的年轻人至关重要，从而能够发现那些未被发现和未得到治疗的患者。先前的研究表明，社交恐惧症清单（SPIN）可能是一种用于筛查美国青少年社交焦虑症的合适方法。然而，关于其在其他文化和语言中的筛查测试性能的信息还很缺乏。这是本研究的主要目的，尽管也提供了该量表的进一步有效性。该样本由 192 名青少年组成（一个样本由 114 名主要诊断为社交焦虑症的受试者组成；另一组由 78 名没有社交恐惧症诊断的受试者组成）。结果表明，社交恐惧症清单具有良好的心理测量学特性，实际上可以作为西班牙语青少年的筛查工具。
