ObjectivesSocial Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is one of the most common mental disorders in adolescence. Many validated psychometric tools are available to diagnose individuals with SAD efficaciously. However, there is a demand for shortened self-report instruments that identify adolescents at risk of developing SAD. We validate the Mini-SPIN and its diagnostic efficiency in overcoming this problem in Spanish-speaking adolescents in Spain.MethodsThe psychometric properties of the 3-item Mini-SPIN scale for adolescents were assessed in a community (study 1) and clinical sample (study 2).ResultsStudy 1 consisted of 573 adolescents, and found the Mini-SPIN to have appropriate internal consistency and high construct validity. Study 2 consisted of 354 adolescents (147 participants diagnosed with SAD and 207 healthy controls). Data revealed that the Mini-SPIN has good internal consistency, high construct validity and adequate diagnostic efficiency.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that the Mini-SPIN has good psychometric properties on clinical and healthy control adolescents and general population, which indicates that it can be used as a screening tool in Spanish-speaking adolescents. Cut-off scores are provided.

“…Dessa maneira, a terapeuta teve melhor aproveitamento para modelar habilidades específicas relacionadas aos objetivos terapêu-ticos, diferentemente do tratamento em grupo, que foi rejeitado pelos clientes. O atendimento individual tornou o ambiente terapêutico seguro para a emissão de novas respostas, concordando com o estudo de Garcia-Lopez et al (2015) que ressaltou a importân-cia do ambiente acolhedor para que o fóbico social consiga se expressar na terapia.…”

Sequence analysis was performed with the therapist's behavior as a criterion. The results of sequential analysis points out that the behavior of the Report Request therapist and Facilitation favored customer report, the categories Information, Interpretation and Recommendation favored the occurrence of Customer Agreement. With the sequential analysis was possible to find some therapist's behavior patterns and customer, one of the therapist's management that favored a warm atmosphere and facilitated both the client's account as the establishment of relations.

“…Parents are in a key position to identify and screen mental health problems early and to provide a link to appropriate services ( Mautone et al, 2020 ). A major advantage of parent-report measures is that they draw on the extensive knowledge parents have about their children and offer a more comprehensive perspective of SAD symptomatology ( Garcia-Lopez et al, 2005 ). Unfortunately, the role of parents as informants of screening for emotional problems in their children has been ignored.…”

Despite the availability of efficacious treatment and screening protocols, social anxiety disorder (SAD) in adolescents is considerably under-detected and undertreated. Our main study objective was to examine a brief, valid, and reliable social anxiety measure already tested to serve as self-report child measure but administered via Internet aimed at listening to the ability of his or her parent to identify social anxiety symptomatology in his or her child. This parent version could be used as a complementary measure to avoid his or her overestimation of children of social anxiety symptomatology using traditional self-reported measures. We examined the psychometric properties of brief and valid social anxiety measure in their parent format and administered via the Internet. The sample included 179 parents/legal guardians of adolescents (67% girls) with a clinical diagnosis of SAD (mean age: 14.27; SD = 1.33). Findings revealed good factor structure, internal consistency, and construct validity. Data support a single, strength-based factor on the SPAIB-P, being structure largely invariant across age and gender. The limited number of adolescents with a performance-only specifier prevented examining the utility of scale to screen for this recently established specifier. It is crucial to evaluate if these results generalize to different cultures and community samples. The findings suggest that the SPAIB-P evidences performance comparable with child-reported measure. Parents can be reliable reports of the social anxiety symptomatology of the adolescent. The SPAIB-P may be useful for identifying clinically disturbed socially anxious adolescents.
