The aim of this study was to translate and validate the Screen for Adult Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCAARED). The original SCAARED was translated into Chinese and administered 6371 Chinese college students (45.4% females, mean age 18.64 ± 0.89) aged 17-28. The factor structure of SCAARED in Chinese was examined by confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM). Internal consistency and criterion-related validity were also evaluated. The four-factor structure of the SCAARED (generalizing anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder and panic disorder) fit the sample well. The SCAARED and its each dimension demonstrated good internal consistency, split-half reliability and criterion-related validity. Similar to other versions of SCAARED, Chinese version of the SCAARED showed that excellent psychometric properties. These findings support that the SCAARED is a reliable and valid anxiety disorder screening instrument in Chinese college students. Future replication studies are warranted in diverse samples and clinical populations.
本研究旨在翻译和验证 Screen for Adult Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders（成人焦虑相关情绪障碍筛查表，SCAARED）。将原始的 SCAARED 翻译成中文，并对 6371 名年龄在 17-28 岁的中国大学生（45.4%为女性，平均年龄 18.64±0.89）进行了测试。通过验证性因子分析和探索性结构方程建模（ESEM）来检验 SCAARED 的因子结构。还评估了内部一致性和效标关联效度。SCAARED 的四因子结构（广泛性焦虑障碍、分离焦虑障碍、社交焦虑障碍和惊恐障碍）很好地适用于样本。SCAARED 及其各维度均表现出良好的内部一致性、半分信度和效标关联效度。与其他版本的 SCAARED 一样，中文版的 SCAARED 表现出了极好的心理测量学特性。这些发现支持 SCAARED 是一种在中国大学生中可靠且有效的焦虑障碍筛查工具。未来需要在不同的样本和临床人群中进行复制研究。
