Validity Studies of the Filial Anxiety Scale.

Murray, Paul D.; And Others

Gerontologist, v36 n1 p110-12 Feb 1996

Factor analytic and construct validity studies were conducted to explore the validity of Cicirelli's 13-item Filial Anxiety Scale (FAS). The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale were a part of the investigation. Results offer support for the validity of the FAS subscales and the FAS' usefulness as an instrument for measuring adult children's feelings concerning elder-parent care. (Author/KW)
