Studies involving parents' reports about children's fears and multiple informant comparisons are less extended than investigations on children's self-reporting fear schedules. Starting with the Italian version of FSSC-R, the FSSC-IT, the main aims of this study were to adapt a schedule for parents' perception of their children's fear: the FSSC-Parent Perception. Its psychometric properties were examined in a large sample of parents (N = 2970) of children aged 8-10 years. Exploratory and confirmatory factorial structures were examined and compared with the Italian children's ones. Mother vs. father, children's gender and school age group effects were analyzed. The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a four correlated factors solution model (Fear of Danger and Death; Fear of Injury and Animals; Fear of Failure and Criticism; Fear of the unknown and Phobic aspects). Some effects related to child gender, age group, mother vs. father, were found. The FSSC-PP properties supported its use by parents to assess their children's fears. A qualitative analysis of the top 10 fears most endorsed by parents will be presented and compared with children's fears. Clinical implications about the quality of parent-child relationships where discussed, comparing mothers and fathers, and parents' perception about daughters' and sons' most endorsed fears.
涉及父母对孩子恐惧的报告以及多渠道信息比较的研究，不如对儿童自我报告恐惧量表的调查深入。从意大利版的儿童恐惧结构量表修订版（FSSC-R），即FSSC-IT开始，本研究的主要目的是改编一个用于父母感知孩子恐惧的量表：儿童恐惧结构父母感知量表（FSSC-Parent Perception）。在一个由8至10岁儿童的大量父母样本（N = 2970）中检验了该量表的心理测量特性。检验了探索性和验证性因子结构，并与意大利儿童的因子结构进行了比较。分析了母亲与父亲、孩子性别和学龄组的影响。验证性因子分析证实了一个四因素相关解决方案模型（对危险和死亡的恐惧；对伤害和动物的恐惧；对失败和批评的恐惧；对未知和恐惧方面的恐惧）。发现了一些与儿童性别、年龄组、母亲与父亲有关的影响。FSSC-PP的特性支持父母使用它来评估孩子的恐惧。将呈现并比较父母最认可的前10种恐惧的定性分析与儿童的恐惧。讨论了关于亲子关系质量的临床意义，比较了母亲和父亲，以及父母对女儿和儿子最认可的恐惧的看法。
