The present study aimed to explore the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the Youth Anxiety Measure for DSM-5 (YAM-5). Two groups of non-clinical children and adolescents were recruited. The first group (n = 520) was recruited via 4 schools of Tehran, Iran, and only completed the YAM-5. The second group (n = 557) was recruited via 4 schools of Tabriz, Iran. In addition to the YAM-5, they completed another anxiety scale and a depression scale. The exploratory factor analysis of data of the first group revealed a five factor model similar to the original model of the scale. The confimatory factor analysis showed that the five factor model fit with the data of second group. Also, the convergent validity was supported. The current findings, thus, provide support for validity and reliability of Persian version of the YAM-5 in a nonclinical sample of children and adolescents in Iran.
本研究旨在探讨用于 DSM-5 的青少年焦虑量表(YAM-5)的波斯语版本的有效性和可靠性。我们招募了两组非临床的儿童和青少年。第一组(n=520)通过伊朗德黑兰的 4 所学校招募,仅完成了 YAM-5。第二组(n=557)通过伊朗大不里士的 4 所学校招募。除了 YAM-5,他们还完成了另一个焦虑量表和一个抑郁量表。第一组数据的探索性因素分析显示,五因素模型类似于该量表的原始模型。验证性因素分析表明,五因素模型与第二组的数据拟合良好。此外,还支持了收敛效度。因此,本研究结果为伊朗非临床儿童和青少年群体中 YAM-5 的波斯语版本的有效性和可靠性提供了支持。
