The School Anxiety Scale-Teacher Report (SAS-TR) was designed to assess anxiety in children at school. The SAS-TR is a proxy rated measure and could assess social anxiety, generalized anxiety and also gives a total anxiety score. This study aimed to translate and validate the SAS-TR in Iran.
The translation and cultural adaptation of the original questionnaire were carried out in accordance with the published guidelines. A sample of students participated in the study. Reliability was estimated using internal consistency and test-retest analysis. Validity was assessed using content validity. The factor structure of the questionnaire was extracted by performing both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses.
In all 200 elementary students aged 6 to 10 years were studied. Considering the recommended cut-off values, overall the prevalence of high anxiety condition in elementary students was found to be 21 %. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the Iranian SAS-TR was 0.92 and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was found to be 0.81. The principal component analysis indicated a two-factor structure for the questionnaire (generalized and social anxiety) that jointly accounted for 55.3 % of variances observed. The confirmatory factory analysis also indicated a good fit to the data for the two-latent structure of the questionnaire.
In general the findings suggest that the Iranian version of SAS-TR has satisfactory reliability, and validity for measuring anxiety in 6 to 10 years old children in Iran. It is simple and easy to use and now can be applied in future studies.
学校焦虑量表-教师报告（SAS-TR）旨在评估儿童在学校的焦虑程度。SAS-TR 是一种代理评定量表，可以评估社交焦虑、广泛性焦虑，并且提供总焦虑得分。本研究旨在在伊朗翻译和验证 SAS-TR。
按照已发表的指南对原始问卷进行翻译和文化调适。一个学生样本参与了这项研究。使用内部一致性和重测分析来评估信度。使用内容效度来评估效度。通过进行探索性和验证性因素分析来提取问卷的因子结构。
总共对 200 名年龄在 6 至 10 岁的小学生进行了研究。考虑到推荐的截止值，总体而言，小学生中存在高焦虑状况的比例为 21%。伊朗版 SAS-TR 的克朗巴赫 α 系数为 0.92，组内相关系数（ICC）为 0.81。主成分分析表明问卷具有两因素结构（广泛性焦虑和社交焦虑），共同解释了观察到的 55.3%的方差。验证性因子分析也表明，该问卷的两潜结构数据拟合良好。
总体而言，研究结果表明，伊朗版 SAS-TR 具有令人满意的信度和效度，可用于衡量伊朗 6 至 10 岁儿童的焦虑程度。它简单易用，现在可以应用于未来的研究。
