Abstract
Two Louisville Behavior Check List scales for assessing children's manifest anxiety using parents as observers were revised. A sample of phobic children was used for scale revision and a sample from the general population was used for cross-validation and normative data. The Fear Scale includes both general and focalized anxiety, with special emphasis on sleep and death; the Sensitivity Scale reflects a sense of “unlikeableness” combined with impulsivity and somatization. Split-half reliability reached .80 on each scale for 7 of 8 populations. No sex differences occurred on the Fear Scale, but sex-specific norms were constructed for Sensitivity. The phobic and general samples differed significantly on each scale. T scores, based on general population norms, were constructed for each scale by sex.
