Psychometric Properties Of The French Canadian Version Of The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory For Children

Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a French version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC). The STAIC was administered to 288 French Canadian children in Grades 4, 5, and 6. The three-factor model found in the original version was confirmed. The internal consistency coefficients of the State Anxiety and Trait Anxiety scales were excellent. Test-retest reliabilities after a 6-month period were also similar to those of the original version. Finally, concurrent validity, assessed by the correlation with the Revised Children’s Manifest Anxiety Scale, was also found to be good. In summary, results of the present study show that the French version of the STAIC is psychometrically sound.
