A psychometric study of the Test Anxiety Scale for Children in a Spanish sample

A Spanish adaptation of the Test Anxiety Scale for Children (TASC) was administered to a sample of 1022 primary school children. The dimensionality and structure and gender differences of the adaptation were assessed and its criteria-related validity was compared with the Revised Children MAS and the EPQ-J N scale. The results were related to previous findings and show that the properties of the Spanish version are similar to those of the well known original version.
