1 The developers of the SCARED wanted to create a brief questionnaire that might identify children at risk for anxiety and related disorders. At that time, there were already several structured interviews that clinicians could use to identify anxiety disorders in children. Why did the researchers want to create a questionnaire, too?

2 The SCARED is a questionnaire that can be administered to both parents and children separately. Why was it important for the test’s authors to develop a screening instrument that could be administered to both adults and children?

3 The SCARED is a norm-referenced test. What does it mean when we say that a test is “norm-referenced?” If we wanted to create the SCARED as a norm-referenced test, what would we need to do?

4 How might we assess the test-retest reliability of the SCARED?

5 How might we assess the internal consistency of the SCARED?

6 What is validity? Can a test be valid without being reliable?

7 How might we assess the content validity of the SCARED?

8 How might we assess the construct validity of the SCARED?

9 How might we assess the criterion-related validity of the SCARED?
