The "Things I Worry About" Scale: Further Developments in Surveying the Worries of Postprimary School Pupils.
Millar, Rob; Gallagher, Mary
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v56 n6 p972-94 Dec 1996
A revised 138-item, 13-category version of the "Things I Worry About" Scale was administered to 3983 adolescents in Northern Ireland. Results suggest a slightly modified 13-category structure and provide preliminary evidence of construct validity. The scale also appears to reflect predictable differences in adolescent concerns.
