Factor structure and construct validity of "what I think and feel": The Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale

J Pers Assess. 1979 Jun;43(3):281-3. doi: 10.1207/s15327752jpa4303_9.

Abstract

Responses to the Revised-CMAS of 329 children from grades 1 through 12 were factor analyzed. Consistent with current multidimensional theories of anxiety, three primary anxiety factors emerged, supporting the construct validity of the new scale. Implications for interpretation of the revised scale are discussed.
