General Description

The factor analysis revealed the existence of two distinct factors: the first, designated as school / social situations, encompasses items related to fears in the school context and various social situations (e.g., “Were you nervous when they called you to the board?”); the second factor, fears/diseases, concerns situations related to worries and physical disturbances (e.g., “Were you afraid of the dark?”; “Did you have illnesses or symptoms such as headaches or stomach pains, for which doctors were not able to find a cause?”)
