Popis: | A series of confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were performed on responses from 195 school-age children to the Childhood Illness Attitude Scales (CIAS; Wright & Asmundson, 2003) Three-, modified 3-, 4- and 4-factor higher-order models were examined. Items originally comprising the treatment experience factor in the 4-factor higher-order model were removed resulting in a revised 3-factor model that best fit the data. Initial construct validity was established by observing moderate correlations between revised CIAS subscale and total scores and measures of anxiety-related constructs, and somatization. Suggested revisions to the CIAS warrant future examination. Implications for clinical practice are discussed. |
