The Core Social Fears Scale for Adolescents: Psychometric appraisal based on community and clinical samples
Overview
This paper introduces the Core Social Fears Scale for Adolescents (CSFS-A), a psychometric instrument designed to assess interaction, performance, and observation fears alongside general social avoidance in adolescents. The study validates the scale using data from both community and clinical samples of adolescents, confirming its structural validity and reliability across different demographic groups. It is primarily intended for clinicians and researchers seeking to characterize social anxiety experiences in youth populations.
