Childhood phobias can be successfully treated using a variety of behavioral strategies, provided there has been a psychometrically sound assessment. Measures are also important for the evaluation of treatment efficacy and the testing of hypotheses generated by new ideas and theories of children's phobias. This paper outlines broad-based assessment procedures used in the evaluation of children's phobias, including the behavioral or problem-focused interview, the diagnostic interview, self-report inventories, caregiver completed instruments, behavioral observations, self-monitoring and physiological assessment. Reflecting recent theoretical and clinical advances in the study of childhood internalizing disorders, we also explore laboratory-based measures and family assessment measures. Particular attention is given to psychometric issues and developmental sensitivity in our discussion of these assessment procedures.
只要进行了心理测量学上合理的评估，儿童恐惧症可以通过多种行为策略成功治疗。测量对于评估治疗效果以及检验由儿童恐惧症的新观点和理论产生的假设也很重要。本文概述了用于评估儿童恐惧症的广泛评估程序，包括行为或问题聚焦访谈、诊断访谈、自我报告量表、照顾者完成的工具、行为观察、自我监测和生理评估。反映儿童内化障碍研究中最近的理论和临床进展，我们还探讨了基于实验室的测量和家庭评估措施。在讨论这些评估程序时，我们特别关注心理测量问题和发展敏感性。
