An Anxiety Rating scale was given to 130 parents who assessed their children's anticipatory fear of dentistry. These ratings were related to a Treatment Disruptiveness scale completed by a paedodontist immediately after treatment. Internal consistencies (alpha) of both were > .80. Scores on the two scales were significantly correlated, and results were replicated with a new sample of 194 children. Scores on both scales were significantly correlated with suppression of play activity scores and with severity of dental work. Younger children were more disruptive during treatment than older ones. Preliminary convergent validation suggests that with further development, the parents' Anxiety Rating and play suppression might prove useful in predicting children's anxiety.
对130名家长进行了焦虑评定量表调查，这些家长评估了他们孩子对看牙的预期恐惧。这些评分与一名儿童牙医在治疗结束后立即完成的治疗干扰性量表相关。两者的内部一致性（阿尔法系数）均大于0.80。两个量表的得分显著相关，并且在194名儿童的新样本中重复了这一结果。两个量表的得分与游戏活动抑制得分以及牙科治疗的严重程度均显著相关。年幼的孩子在治疗过程中比年长的孩子更具干扰性。初步的收敛效度表明，随着进一步发展，家长焦虑评定和游戏抑制可能在预测儿童焦虑方面很有用。
