Abstract

Introduction: The current paper aimed to translate psychometric properties and network structure of the Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED-P) in children aged 4 to 7 years in Arabic-speaking countries.

Method: In this study, 646 Arabic-speaking parents of children aged 4 to 7 participated. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to confirm the five-factor structure of the SCARED-P scale. Indices of reliability, test-retest reliability, convergent validity and measurement invariance were utilized. Additionally, a network perspective, which included exploratory graph analysis (EGA), was employed.

Results: The results of the present study showed that the five-factor model of the SCARED-P scale was confirmed with good fit indices (χ2/df = 3.27, RMSEA = 0.059, CFI = 0.92). The scale demonstrated good internal consistency (total scale: α = 0.946, subscales: α = 0.68-0.96). Test-retest reliability over 2 weeks was satisfactory (ICC above 0.70). The convergent validity of the scale was also confirmed, as SCARED-P scores had a significant correlation with the emotional problems subscale of the SDQ (r = 0.61, p < 0.001). The emotional subscale showed the highest correlation with the generalized anxiety component (r = 0.68, p < 0.001). Additionally, the network analysis supported the five-factor model of the SCARED-P scale.

Conclusion: The SCARED-P scale demonstrated excellent psychometric properties in Arabic-speaking children aged 4 to 7, with a stable five-factor structure and strong convergent validity. It suggested that this tool can be a valuable instrument for the early identification of anxiety disorders in Arab countries. This study emphasizes the importance of culturally adapted screening tools in detecting anxiety symptoms and providing opportunities for early interventions.

阿拉伯儿童(4-7岁)焦虑相关情绪障碍家长版筛查的网络分析和心理测量特性
前言:本论文旨在翻译阿拉伯语国家4 - 7岁儿童焦虑相关情绪障碍(scare - p)筛查的心理测量特性和网络结构。方法:646名4 - 7岁儿童的阿拉伯语家长参与了本研究。采用验证性因子分析(CFA)对SCARED-P量表的五因子结构进行确证。采用信度、重测信度、收敛效度和测量不变性等指标。此外,采用了网络视角,其中包括探索性图分析(EGA)。结果:本研究结果表明,SCARED-P量表的五因素模型被证实,拟合指数较好(χ2/df = 3.27, RMSEA = 0.059, CFI = 0.92)。量表具有良好的内部一致性(总量表:α = 0.946,子量表:α = 0.68 ~ 0.96)。2周内的重测信度令人满意(ICC大于0.70)。结论:SCARED-P量表在4 ~ 7岁阿拉伯语儿童中具有良好的心理测量特性,具有稳定的五因子结构和较强的收敛效度。这表明,这一工具可以成为阿拉伯国家早期识别焦虑症的宝贵工具。本研究强调了文化适应筛选工具在检测焦虑症状和提供早期干预机会方面的重要性。
