Widely used by school psychologists, clinicians, and researchers, the Revised Children’s Manifest Anxiety Scale is now available in an updated Second Edition.
The RCMAS-2 is a brief self-report inventory measuring the level and nature of anxiety in 6- to 19-year-olds. The test is now composed of 49 items covering the following scales: Physiological Anxiety, Worry, Social Anxiety, Defensiveness, and Inconsistent Responding Index.
The RCMAS-2 can be completed in just 10 to 15 minutes, and a new Short Form, composed of the first 10 items, requires less than 5 minutes. Items are written at a second-grade reading level. An Audio CD is provided for younger children and those with reading or attention problems.
RCMAS-2 scores often lead to the discovery of more basic problems. The scale is useful in evaluating children for academic stress, test anxiety, peer and family conflicts, and drug problems. Teachers and school psychologists will find that the RCMAS-2 is an excellent way to assess anxiety levels in the classroom.
