Depression in British and American Children and Its Relation to Anxiety and Fear.

Ollendick, Thomas H.; Yule, William

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v58 n1 p126-29 Feb 1990

Examined relations between Children's Depression Inventory, Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale, and Fear Scale Schedule for Children-Revised in 327 British and 336 American children. Relations were similar for both samples, with depression more closely related to anxiety than to fear. Children who reported high levels of depression also reported high levels of anxiety and social evaluative fears. (Author/NB)
