Abstract

The reliability of the Fear Survey Schedule for Children - Revised was examined for a sample of Australian children (N=79). All subjects were individually assessed on two occasions (2 week interval). Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were found to be satisfactory. These findings are consistent with previous research on the instrument using American children (Ollendick, 1983).
