Discriminant Validity (Table Sample Clauses
Discriminant Validity (Table. 2, Figure 1)—Discriminant validity for the SCARED was largely supported and consistent across child- and parent-report. One-way ANOVAs showed that the groups (HC, GAD, SAD, GAD+SAD) differed for Total child (F(3, 554) = 149.5, p < .001, η2 = .45), and parent (F(3, 530) = 374.9, p < .001, η2 = .68) scores, GA child (F(3, 554) = 134.0, p < .001, η2 = .42), and parent (F(3, 530) = 438.2, p < . 001, η2 = .71) scores, and SA child (F(3, 554) = 74.3, p < .001, η2 = .29), and parent (F(3, 530) = 250.9, p < .001, η2 = .59) scores. Results from post-hoc pair-wise comparisons between group scores on each subscale are depicted in Figure 1 (see Table S2 for mean difference scores and corresponding p-values for Bonferroni pairwise comparisons). HCs scored consistently below all three anxious groups; GAD+SAD scored above GAD (parent- report only) and SAD on the Total scale; GAD+SAD and GAD scored above SAD on the GA subscale; and GAD+SAD and SAD scored above GAD on the SA subscale (see supplementary materials for further details).
