Abstract

This study attempted to validate the Anxiety Scale, an individual test of anxiety for preschool children, by relating test performance to adults' ratings and maternal anxiety. 45 preschool boys and girls were administered the Anxiety Scale while ratings of anxiety were collected by the teaching staff; maternal anxiety was assessed by administering the A-Trait section of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Correlation coefficients between Anxiety Scale scores, ratings of anxiety, and A-Trait scores were nonsignificant. Findings were discussed in terms of situational factors and parent-child roles.
