Title: | Evaluating social fears in late adolescence: Study with a Portuguese sample | Authors: | Vagos, Paula Pereira, Anabela Cunha, Marina |
Keywords: | Social anxiety; Late adolescence; Evaluation; Psychometrics | Issue Date: | 2013 | Project: | This work was supported by a grant given by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, with the reference SFRH/BD/29574/2006 | Serial title, monograph or event: | European Journal of Developmental Psychology | Volume: | 11 | Issue: | 3 | Abstract: | This work intends to psychometrically evaluate a measure of social fears for late adolescents, who may differently perceive social fear stimulus. A community sample of 794 late adolescents was recruited and assessed, using the Social Anxiety and Avoidance Scale for Adolescents. Internal structure analysis indicates that late adolescents adopt a unique perspective on social experiences. Internal consistency and convergent validity relating to thoughts typical of social anxiety were found. The instrument may be useful for evaluating social fears throughout adolescence. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/46776 | DOI: | 10.1080/17405629.2013.841093 | Rights: | openAccess |
