The Youth Anxiety Measure-I for DSM-5 has recently been developed to assess youth's anxiety symptomatology. As social anxiety is one of the most common disorders in adolescence, this scale includes a subscale measuring social anxiety. However, psychometric properties of the YAM-5-I social anxiety subscale (YAM-5-I-SAD) in clinical samples are lacking. This paper aims to bridge the gap.
The sample comprised 24 clinically diagnosed and 24 healthy control Spanish-speaking adolescents aged 14-17 years.
Data revealed that the YAM-5- I-SAD yielded excellent sensitivity, which makes it particularly useful as a screening tool to early detect socially anxious adolescents. In addition, the YAM-5-I-SAD evidenced good internal consistency and construct validity.
Data are limited to the social anxiety subscale.
The YAM-5-I-SAD is a sensitive and specific measure to screen for adolescents with social anxiety.
《DSM-5 青年焦虑量表-1》(Youth Anxiety Measure-I for DSM-5)最近被开发出来,用于评估青少年的焦虑症状。由于社交焦虑是青少年中最常见的障碍之一,因此该量表包括一个测量社交焦虑的分量表。然而,该量表在临床样本中的心理测量学特性尚不清楚。本文旨在弥补这一空白。
该样本包括 24 名临床诊断的和 24 名健康对照的西班牙语青少年,年龄在 14-17 岁之间。
数据显示,YAM-5- I-SAD 具有优异的灵敏度,使其特别适合作为一种筛查工具,用于早期发现有社交焦虑的青少年。此外,YAM-5-I-SAD 具有良好的内部一致性和结构效度。
数据仅限于社交焦虑分量表。
YAM-5-I-SAD 是一种敏感和特异的筛查工具,可用于筛查有社交焦虑的青少年。
