It was hypothesized that the STAIC would be able to measure children’s state-trait anxiety levels. In the initial phase, a sample of 100 children, aged 9-12 years, was used in order to shape the final form of the inventory. In the final phase, two different samples (N= 875), aged 9-12 years, were used to test the validity and reliability of the inventory, using exploratory (Sample A; n = 425) and confirmatory (Sample B; n = 450) factor analyses. The results indicated that both scales possessed an acceptable internal consistency and, reliability. The factor analysis in the total of the items indicated three factors, that is &quot;absence of state anxiety,&quot; &quot;presence of state anxiety,&quot; and &quot;trait anxiety.&quot; Also, confirmatory factor analysis (AMOS; Arbuckle, 1997) verified three factors. It is therefore concluded that the scales have a multifactorial structure and can be used among the Greek population to examine children’s state and trait anxiety levels.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cited By (since 1996)3</style></notes></record></records></xml>
