    El objetivo del estudio es valorar la calidad psicométrica de la versión castellana de 41 ítems del SCARED, escala diseñada para detectar síntomas de trastornos de ansiedad en niños y adolescentes a partir del autoinforme. El estudio se ha realizado en una población de 487 alumnos entre 9 y 17 años a los que se les ha administrado un cuestionario socioeconómico y las versiones castellanas del STAIC y el SCARED. Los resultados apoyan la estructura de 5 factores propuesta por los autores de la versión original. Cuatro factores corresponden a trastornos de ansiedad del DSM-IV-R, y el quinto a la fobia escolar. La puntuación total tiene una consistencia interna de .83 y las de las escalas oscilan entre .44 y .72. Las puntuaciones se mantienen estables en el tiempo (correlaciones testretest entre .55 y .76) y se relacionan de la forma esperada con las escalas del STAIC, ansiedad/rasgo (correlaciones entre .35 y .60) y ansiedad/estado (correlaciones entre .13 y .28). La versión castellana del SCARED puede, por tanto, considerarse un buen instrumento para la detección temprana de síntomas y trastornos de ansiedad en la población de niños y adolescentes de habla castellana.

    The aim of the study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the SCARED (41 item version), a self-report scale devised to detect symptoms of anxiety disorders in children and adolescents. The study was carried out on a sample of 487 pupils aged between 9 and 17, who were administered a socioeconomic questionnaire and the Spanish versions of the STAIC and SCARED. Our results support the five-factor structure of the SCARED, as the authors pointed out in their original work. Four factors have been identified as anxiety disorders in DSM-IV and the fifth as School Phobia. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient as a whole was .83 and scale reliability ranged between .44 and .72. These values remain stable over time (test-retest correlations between .55 and .76). Concurrent validity with the STAIC performed as expected: for the trait scale correlations between .35 and .60 and for the state scale between .13 and .28. This Spanish version of the SCARED may be considered a good instrument for the early detection of anxiety symptoms and disorders in Spanish-speaking children and adolescent populations.
