ObjectiveThis article reports on the test–retest reliability and sensitivity to change of a set of brief dimensional self-rating questionnaires for social anxiety disorder (SAD-D), specific phobia (SP-D), agoraphobia (AG-D), panic disorder (PD-D), and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-D), as well as a general cross-cutting anxiety scale (Cross-D), which were developed to supplement categorical diagnoses in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5).MethodsThe German versions of the dimensional anxiety scales were administered to 218 students followed up approximately 2 weeks later (Study 1) and 55 outpatients (23 with anxiety diagnoses) followed-up 1 year later (Study 2). Probable diagnostic status in students was determined by the DIA-X/M-CIDI stem screening-questionnaire (SSQ). In the clinical sample, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV) diagnoses were assessed at Time 1 using the DIA-X/M-CIDI. At Time 2, the patient-version of the Clinical Global Impression—Improvement scale (CGI-I) was applied to assess change.ResultsGood psychometric properties, including high test–retest reliability, were found for the dimensional scales except for SP-D. In outpatients, improvement at Time 2 was associated with significant decrease in PD-D, GAD-D, and Cross-D scores.DiscussionMajor advantages of the scales include that they are brief, concise, and based on a consistent template to measure the cognitive, physiological, and behavioral symptoms of fear and anxiety. Further replication in larger samples is needed. Given its modest psychometric properties, SP-D needs refinement.ConclusionIncreasing evidence from diverse samples suggests clinical utility of the dimensional anxiety scales.

The current study aimed to verify the psychometric properties of the attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder scale, among a sample of Saudi children. The researcher designed the instrument of study according to the Saudi environment. The sample consisted of (1120) boys and girls who are enrolled in a number of primary and middle schools in the governorates (Al- Ahsa, Riyadh, and Tabuk). The findings of the study revealed that the attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder scale has interceder reliability, face and factorial validity, and has high reliability by using Cronbach's alpha, and method of split- half. The study recommended on one hand to use the attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder scale in the study community, and extract of local criteria on the other hand.
