Abstract
Two different analysis procedures were used to ascertain the response dimensionality inherent in Sarason's Test Anxiety Scale for Children (TASC) in order that inferences regarding the functional construct validity of the scale could be made. The analysis procedures were factor analysis and McQuitty's elementary linkage analysis. The four factors obtained were: test anxiety, generalized school anxiety, recitation anxiety, and physiological arousal in anticipated recitation situations. Linkage analysis clusters closely paralleled the factors. It was felt the results were compatable with the theoretical constructs on which the scale was constructed. However, because of the clear-cut multi-dimensionality of the scale, the utilization of single TASC scores was questioned.
