“…Ratings are summed to yield subscale scores as well as a total score, which was used in the present study. There is emerging support for the psychometric qualities of the YAM-5 (Garcia-Lopez et al 2017 ; Muris et al 2017 ).…”

The present study examined psychological and psychopathological correlates of psychological inflexibility as measured by the Avoidance and Fusion Questionnaire for Youth (AFQ-Y) in two independent samples of nonclinical Dutch adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years (Ns being 184 and 157). Participants completed a survey containing the AFQ-Y and scales assessing mindfulness, thought suppression, self-compassion, self-worth, self-efficacy, and internalizing/externalizing symptoms. In both samples, the AFQ-Y was found to be a reliable measure of psychological inflexibility that correlated in a theoretically meaningful way with other psychological constructs. Most importantly, AFQ-Y scores correlated positively with internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and in most cases, these associations remained significant when controlling for other measures. These findings suggest that psychological inflexibility is an important factor in youth psychopathology that needs to be further investigated in future research.

“…Based on the results of those studies, the scores that are produced by the YAM-5 were found to be reliable and valid. Moreover, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) yielded further support that the majority of the items in the YAM-5 loaded on the anxiety domain that they were intended to measure (Garcia-Lopez et al, 2017;Simon et al, 2017). YAM-5-I was also found to be invariant across gender and age among 13-to 17-year-old Spanish-speaking adolescents (Garcia-Lopez et al, 2017).…”

“…No indications of racial or sexual bias in any items of the measure were reported. Moreover, YAM-5-I has Dutch, English, and Spanish versions and YAM-5-II has Dutch and English versions (Garcia-Lopez, Saez-Castillo, & Fuentes-Rodriguez, 2017;Muris et al, 2016).…”

“…On the other hand, the RCADS assesses depressive symptoms together with anxious symptoms, and it has been adapted only in Spanish adolescents (11 to 17 years) of general population, detecting low correlations between subdimensions (generalized anxiety and major depressive), and the test-retest reliability of this scale has not been evaluated ( Sandín, Valiente, & Chorot, 2009 ; Piqueras, Martín-Vivar, Sandin, San Luis, & Pineda, 2017 ). Furthermore, in the YAM-5 there are some items which are not easily adaptable to Spanish youth from a cross-cultural and language-specific perspective ( Garcia-Lopez, Saez-Castillo, & Fuentes-Rodriguez, 2016 ).…”

Background: anxiety remains one of the most common disorders in typically developing children and young adults. Adolescents with Down syndrome (DS) lack diagnostic tests for evaluation. Methods: this study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders inventory in its self-report version in 63 adolescents with anxiety symptoms with DS. The inclusion criteria for the studies were trisomy 21 and a chronological age between 8 and 17 years. Psychometric properties arestrictly evaluated with the sample exceeding a cutoff point in anxiety symptomatology. A confirmatory factorial analysis tested two models for the new evaluation test. Results: both models confirmed a four-factor structure (somatic/panic, social phobia, generalized anxiety, and separation anxiety). Model 2, nevertheless, had fewer items and a better fit, and it also showed a high correlation with other anxiety detection measures and adequate internal consistency. Conclusions: the importance of validating psychopathological anxiety tests for children and young people with DS in order to build good mental health is discussed, emphasizing the need to provide easy and short-term tests on cognitive and emotional aspects in people with intellectual disabilities.
