Correlates of the SCARED
Correlates | RDS | absRDS | SMDS | absSMDS |
---|---|---|---|---|
Age | r = 0.01 | r = −0.06 | r = 0.02 | r = −0.06* |
Sex | t = 1.94 | t = 0.37 | t = 2.03* | t = 0.92 |
Ethnicity | t = −1.04 | t = 1.88 | t = −1.09 | t = 1.77 |
Highest parental educationa | r = −0.15*** | r = 0.06 | r = −0.16*** | r = 0.03 |
Incomea | r = 0.09* | r = −0.02 | r = 0.09* | r = −0.02 |
IQb | r = 0.07* | r = 0.01 | r = 0.07* | r = 0.02 |
FRFCc | r = −0.06 | r = 0.07 | r = −0.09 | r = 0.08 |
Diagnosis | t = −4.12*** | t = 6.30*** | t = −5.00*** | t = 5.78*** |
SCARED-P/C mean | r = 0.07* | r = 0.46** | r = 0.02 | r = 0.46** |
Correlations between SCARED discrepancy scores are presented (r = Spearman’s rho; t = independent-samples t-test)
p < .05,
p < .01,
p < .001. Higher raw discrepancy scores (RDS) and standardized mean difference scores (SMDS) indicate higher scores for parents compared to their child. Higher absolute RDS (absRDS) and SMDS (absSMDS) indicate greater discrepancy regardless of the direction of discrepancy. The direction of t-test results were: sex (male > female), ethnicity (non-white > white), and diagnosis (anxious > healthy).
Information on highest parental education and household income was collected from n = 803 participants. Note that a value of 1 indicates the highest and 7 indicates the lowest parental educational attainment.
IQ scores were collected from n = 974 participants.
FRFC scores were collected from n = 358 participants.
