This article investigates the factor structure of the French ver- sion of the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders-Revised (SCARED-R) and its convergent and divergent validity. 704 normal adoles- cents aged 10 to 19 years completed the questionnaires in their classrooms. A sub-sample of 595 adolescents also completed an anxiety questionnaire (the French version of the Fear Survey Schedule for Children-Revised, FSSC-R) and a depression questionnaire (the French version of the Center for Epidemi- ological Studies Depression Scale, CES-D). Confirmatory factor analysis of the SCARED-R suggested reasonable fit for the 9-factor model. The compari- son of the convergent and divergent validity revealed that the SCARED-R total score and five SCARED-R subscales (SAD, Social Phobia and the three Spe- cific Phobias) correlated more strongly with anxiety than depression. The other SCARED-R subscales (GAD, Panic Disorder, OCD and PTSD) are positively related to levels of anxiety and depression. Altogether, the French version of the SCARED-R showed reasonable psychometric properties. Introduction In both research and clinical practices, self-report questionnaires for measur- ing childhood anxiety symptoms are frequently used. The most widely used traditional questionnaire for this purpose is the Fear Survey Schedule for Children-Revised (FSSC-R), (Ollendick, 1983). The FSSC-R is used to measure the construct of fear in children and adolescents. It is designed (1) to measure the number of fears and (2) as a normative scale for selecting fearful children and adolescents for treatment trials. Two other traditional question- naires are also used: the Spielberger State-Trait Inventory for Children (STAIC); (Spielberger, 1973) and the Revised Manifest Anxiety Scale for Children (RCMAS); (Reynolds & Richmond, 1978). The STAIC consists of a state scale that measures present-state and situation-linked anxiety and a
