CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?

It estimates a child’s anxiety level based on observable behaviors across common situations. It also identifies patterns that may indicate stress sensitivity.

Who should complete the form?

An adult who knows the child well, such as a parent, caregiver, or teacher, should complete it. If possible, more than one adult may complete separate forms for comparison.

How long does it take to complete?

Most respondents complete it in about 4 minutes. It contains 20 items.

What time period should be considered when answering?

Responses should reflect typical behavior over the past 2–4 weeks. Base ratings on what is observed most often rather than on a single event.

How should results be used?

Results indicate whether further observation or support may be needed and which settings are associated with higher stress. They do not provide a diagnosis and should be interpreted with other information.
