“…By means of confi rmatory factor analysis, several models for the RCADS were tested (i.e., 6-correlated-factors model, 6-uncorrelated-factors model, 1-factor model, and 2-correlated-factors model -anxiety/depression). The six-correlated-factors model provided a better fi t to the data than the remaining tested models, providing additional support to the structure of the original version of the RCADS and corroborating confi rmatory factor-analytic data previously reported by Chorpita et al (2005). There is a U.S. Spanish language version of the caregiver scale that has been developed by Chorpita's group at the University of California, Los Angeles (Polo, Rodriguez, & Polo, 2010).…”

This is to present the factor structure and psychometric properties of a Spanish reduced 30-item version of the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS; Chorpita, Yim, Moffi tt, Umemoto y Francis, 2000) applied to a sample of children and adolescents. This abbreviated form (RCADS-30) consists of six 5-item subscales assessing the same anxiety and depression syndromes as the original scale, that is, panic disorder, social phobia, separation anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and major depressive disorder. Data provide support for factorial validity, internal consistency, normative data, and convergent and discriminant validity of the RCADS-30. Psychometric properties and elevated correlations between both scales suggest that the abbreviated form is similar to the Spanish full version. The RCADS-30 is considered an appropriate multidimensional instrument for research as well as clinical settings.

“…The CDI has been shown to have good reliability and validity as a measure of general depression in children and adolescents (Klein et al 2005). Although the CDI is probably the most commonly used measure of assessing depressive symptoms among youth, its construct validity and specificity as a measure of depression has been questioned (e.g., Chorpita et al 2005;King et al 1991) given that it appears to contain many items tapping broad negative affect (Chorpita et al 1998). Thus, although the CDI was intended to assess the depressive symptoms factor of the hierarchical model of internalizing problems Watson 2005) given its wide-spread use, the questionable specificity and construct validity led to the decision to select particular anhedonia items from the CDI, based on past work (e.g., Chorpita et al 1998;Joiner et al 1996) in order to examine both the full CDI as the commonly used measure of general depressive symptoms and the relatively more specific anhedonic depressive symptoms based on the CDI.…”

Depression commonly co-occurs with anxiety and externalizing problems. Etiological factors from a central cognitive theory of depression, the Hopelessness Theory (Abramson et al. Psychological Review, 96, 358-372, 1989), were examined to evaluate whether a negative inferential style about cause, consequence, and self interacted with stressors over time to predict prospective elevations in depressive symptoms specifically compared with typically co-occurring symptoms. Negative inferential style was assessed at baseline in a sample of early and middle adolescents (N=350, sixth to tenth graders). Measures of general depressive, anhedonic depressive, anxious arousal, general internalizing, and externalizing symptoms and occurrence of stressors were assessed at four time points over a 5-month period. Results using hierarchical linear modeling show that a negative inferential style interacted with negative events to predict prospective symptoms of general and anhedonic depression specifically but not anxious arousal, general internalizing or externalizing symptoms. Negative events predicted prospective elevations of symptoms of anxious arousal, internalizing, and externalizing problems.

“…Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale -Child version (RCADS). The RCADS is a reliable and construct valid 47-item child report questionnaire that measures symptoms of DSM-IV anxiety disorders and depression (Chorpita, Yim, Moffitt, Umemoto, & Francis, 2000;Chorpita, Moffitt, & Gray, 2005). The RCADS consists of six subscales: separation anxiety disorder (SAD), social phobia (SP), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder (PD) and major depressive disorder (MDD).…”

The present study examines the predictive role of child temperament, parent temperament and parenting style in the context of treatment outcome. Method: Participants were 145 children and adolescents (ages 8-18) with DSM-IV-TR anxiety disorders who received a 12-session CBT program and were assessed at pretreatment, posttreatment and three months follow-up. Multiple-regression analyses were used to evaluate the following pretreatment and posttreatment variables as potential predictors of treatment response at follow-up: baseline level of anxiety symptoms, child reported maternal and paternal rearing style (emotional warmth, rejection, and overprotection), parent reported child temperament traits (negative affect, effortful control, and extraversion), and mothers' and fathers' self-report temperament traits. Results: More maternal negative affect and less emotional warmth as perceived by the child before treatment were related to less favorable treatment outcome (accounting for 29% of the variance in anxiety at follow-up). Furthermore, maternal negative affect and children's extraversion measured after treatment also predicted anxiety at follow-up (together accounting for 19% of the variance). Paternal temperament and parenting style were unrelated to treatment outcome, as were children's pretreatment temperament traits. Conclusion:The results suggest that tailoring intervention to include strategies to reduce maternal negative affect and promote an emotional warm rearing style may improve treatment outcome.
