“…Immediately before the EEG/MEG measurements, subjective levels of anxiety, mood and arousal were measured with visual analogue scales (VAS). VAS allows the quantification of small changes over time, and subject/observer agreement for this method is good (Bernstein and Garfinkel 1992;Hotopf et al 1999). Two experimental sessions were separated by 1 week.…”

The lack of effect of MPH on either MMN or MMNm suggests no association between catecholaminergic activities and MMN generation. However, our findings imply that MPH may change the neural bases of auditory information processing such as the early stimulus evaluation reflected in the P200 component. Dopamine and noradrenaline neurotransmitter systems could be responsible for the modulation of these processes. The exclusive effect of MPH on the P200 component could have a clinical application.

“…Thermometer scales have long been used and validated in paediatric pain management to assess the level of pain [ 24 – 26 ] and emotional distress in hospital [ 27 , 28 ] and nonhospital settings [ 29 – 31 ]. Generally, visual analogue pain scales show reasonably sound psychometrics [ 32 ]; however, there are some mixed findings.…”

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience high anxiety which often prompts clinical referral and requires intervention. This study aimed to compare parent and child reports on the Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS) and a child-reported “worry thermometer” in 88 children aged 8–13 years, 44 with ASD and 44 age, gender, and perceptual IQ matched typically developing children. There were no gender differences in child report on the SCAS and worry thermometers. Results indicated generally good correlations between parent and child self-reported SCAS symptoms for typically developing children but poor agreement in parent-child ASD dyads. The worry thermometer child-report did not reflect child or parent reports on the SCAS. Findings suggest 8–13-year-old children with ASD may have difficulties accurately reporting their anxiety levels. The clinical implications were discussed.

“…These findings demonstrate the need for clinical and educational psychologists to have instruments, with valid and reliable scores, that allow early identification of anxiety disorders produced in the school environment. However, only one scale has been specifically built and validated for that purpose: the Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety-Revised (VAA-R; Bernstein & Garfinkel, 1992 ). The VAA-R is a self-report measure that detects nature of anxiety symptoms in children and adolescents with school refusal (i.e., in those who show resistance to attending school), and the school situations that originate them.…”

Background/ObjectivesThis paper aimed to validate the Spanish version of scores of the Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety-Revised (VAA-R) in child population, and to verify the existence of anxiety profiles and to relate them to school refusal.MethodThe sample was made up of 911 Spanish students between 8 and 12 years old (M = 9.61, SD = 1.23). The measures used were the VAA-R and the School Refusal Assessment Scale-Revised for Children (SRAS-R-C).ResultsConfirmatory factorial analysis supported the three-dimensional VAA-R structure: Anticipatory Anxiety (AA), School-based performance Anxiety (SA) and Generalized Anxiety (GA). The VAA-R has an adequate reliability and structural invariance across sex and age. No latent mean differences were found across sex, but did occur through age in AA and GA factors. Cluster analysis identified four child anxiety profiles: High Anxiety, High Anxiety School-type, Low Anxiety, and Moderate Anxiety, which differed significantly in all dimensions of school refusal.ConclusionsThese findings may be useful for the assessment and treatment of anxious symptoms originated at school.
