摘要
The Fear Survey Schedule for Children-II (FSSC-II) (Gullone & King, 1992) was modified for parent report and a younger age group. The modified instrument (FSSC-IIP) was completed by 753 parents of children within the age range 3.0 to 8.9 years. Results revealed a stable eight-factor solution that was sensitive to age and gender differences. Parents reported a higher overall level of fear for school children compared to preschool children, and a higher overall level of fearfulness for girls compared to boys. The most common fears reported were getting lost in a crowd and in a strange place.
