Abstract
Recently Castaneda et al. have published a children's form (CMAS) of the Taylor manifest anxiety scale (x). In the process of carrying out a large scale standardization and item analysis study on subjects from two towns in Rhode Island, we found xo items which showed no significant differences for either grade or sex. It was the purpose of the present study to determine the relationship between this io-item form of the CMAS and the original 42-item form. All protocols were rescored using the io-item form. This was accomplished very simply since all of the protocols had previously been coded on IBM cards for the item-analytic study. Since the Rhode Island data indicated that not only were there significant sex and grade differences but also a significant interaction for full-scale scores, separate Pearsonian correlation coefficients were computed for each of the six subgroups which comprised our total population of subjects. Table I presents these values. It can be seen that the short-form scores do quite a respectable job of predicting the full-form scores. The correlations range in value from .84
