“…As reviewed by Pina, Gonzales, Holly, Zerr, and Wynne (in press), several measures have failed to provide equivalent information across ethnic groups, including for African American youth. Configural invariance in a community sample of White and African American youth, for example, was not supported for the Child Behavior Checklist (internalizing/externalizing scales; Tyson, Teasley, & Ryan, 2011). Moreover, among African Americans anxiety seems to manifest itself largely in terms of physical symptoms (Neal & Turner, 1991) and measures such as the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (La Greca & Lopez, 1998) that do not include physiological anxiety items might be under-identifying socially anxious African American youth.…”
