Abstract

Validity and parent–child agreement of the Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory for Children–Parent Report (SPAI–C–P) were examined in a racially diverse sample of 158 students in Grades 5 through 8 (87 girls; ages 10 to 14; M = 11.53) and their caregivers. Children completed the Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory for Children (SPAI–C), and caregivers completed the SPAI–C–P and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The SPAI–C–P demonstrated good internal consistency and was significantly correlated with child self-reported social anxiety. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a 3-factor model over a 5-factor model, and concurrent validity was evidenced. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
