The Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS) is a child self-report measure designed to evaluate symptoms relating to separation anxiety, social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic-agoraphobia, generalized anxiety and fears of physical injury. The results of confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses supported six factors consistent with the hypothesized diagnostic categories. There was support also for a model in which the 1st-order factors loaded significantly on a single 2nd-order factor of anxiety in general. The internal consistency of the total score and subscales was high and 6 month test-retest reliability was acceptable. The SCAS correlated strongly with a frequently used child self-report measure of anxiety. Comparisons between clinically anxious and control children showed significant differences in total SCAS scores, with subscale scores reflecting the type of presenting anxiety disorder of the clinical samples.
斯彭斯儿童焦虑量表（SCAS）是一种儿童自评量表，旨在评估与分离焦虑、社交恐惧症、强迫症、惊恐-广场恐惧症、广泛性焦虑以及对身体伤害的恐惧相关的症状。验证性和探索性因素分析结果支持了与假设诊断类别一致的六个因素。同时也支持这样一种模型，即一阶因素在一个单一的二阶焦虑因素上有显著载荷。总分及各子量表的内部一致性较高，6个月的重测信度也可接受。SCAS与一种常用的儿童焦虑自评量表高度相关。临床焦虑儿童与对照儿童之间的比较显示，SCAS总分存在显著差异，各子量表得分反映了临床样本中呈现的焦虑障碍类型。
