Finaly, data was analysed using descriptive statistic،pearson correlation coefficient،Alpha Cronbach coefficient and factor analysis.
Results: Results indicated that the SCARED and its 5 subscales have good internal consistency and test-retest reliability(with a 14 days interval). The result of exploratory factor analysis indicated a six-factor model in SCARED which confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. Also The result of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed five subscale of original SCARED including “Panic Disorder”, “Generalized anxiety Disorder”,“Social anxiety Disorder”,“ Separation anxiety Disorder” and“ anxiety scool”.
.furthermore The significant correlation of total score SCARED and its 5 subscales with total scors YSR، RCAMS and CDI supported the convergent validity.(p<0/01)
