“…This 37 dichotomous-item self-report inventory comprises three content scales: physiological anxiety, worry/oversensitivity, and social concerns/concentration, which are combined to form the Total Anxiety Score. The total anxiety score of the RCMAS is reliable (median α across 48 samples=0.81; Ryngala et al 2005) and has displayed very good concurrent and discriminant validity (Lee et al 1988;Reynolds and Richmond 2000).…”

The available evidence suggests that pathological gambling significantly disrupts family relationships and has a substantial impact on family members. However, these conclusions are based almost exclusively on male pathological gamblers and their female spouses or partners. The current study, which was a secondary study derived from a treatment outcome study for female pathological gamblers, surveyed three samples with the aim to evaluate (1) the quality of the dyadic and family relationships of treatment-seeking female pathological gamblers; (2) the psychological and relationship functioning of their spouses or partners; and (3) the psychological functioning of their children. Although the findings of this study revealed substantial dysfunction in the intimate and family relationships of female pathological gamblers, the partners and children of the female pathological gamblers in this study did not display elevated rates of psychological dysfunction. It is evident that femalespecific research and direct gender comparisons are warranted in this area of research.

“…In this sample, the Total Anxiety scale's internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) was 0.84. Estimates of concurrent validity for the RCMAS have been found to range from (rs) 0.76 to 0.65 (Lee, Piercel, Friedlander, & Collamer, 1988). …”

To evaluate the external validity of comorbid patterns of anxiety disorders among youth who presented to an anxiety disorders clinic, comorbid cases were compared to "pure" anxiety disorder cases. Children and adolescents (N=329; mean age=10.04 years) and parents were administered structured interviews and four groups were formed, Pure Anxiety, Anxiety+Anxiety, Anxiety+Externalizing, and Anxiety+Depressive, and compared along with four external validation criteria: sociodemographics, clinical phenomenology, psychosocial, and family factors. All comorbid groups were more severe than the pure anxiety group on clinical phenomenology and psychosocial factors. The Anxiety+Depressive Disorders group was most severe on all criteria except sociodemographics. Results provide evidence for the external validity of comorbid diagnostic presentations among anxiety disorders, as there was differential meaningfulness in the diagnostic presentation of a pure anxiety disorder versus anxiety disorder comorbid with other disorders. Assessment and future research implications are discussed.

“…Anxiety: Current levels of anxiety were measured using the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS; Reynolds and Richmond, 1978), a 37 item true-false questionnaire that has been validated on children between the ages of 6 and 19 years of age (Lee et al, 1988).…”

Objective: To characterize the psychiatric, psychosocial and cognitive functioning of adolescent ADHD females in comparison with female controls and ADHD males. Female controls were also compared to male controls to verify gender differences in a nonclinical sample.Methods: 107 adolescents from Southern Ontario aged 13 to 16 were included: 24 ADHD females, 35 ADHD males, 28 control females and 20 control males. All were assessed using semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and tests of achievement and intellectual functioning.Results: After controlling for parental education and estimated FSIQ, ADHD females were more impaired than control females in: depression, anxiety, distress, teacher relationships, stress, attributional styles, locus of control, and on all cognitive and achievement measures. ADHD females were more impaired than ADHD males in self-reported anxiety, distress, depression, locus of control, and vocabulary scores. These group differences were confirmed by higher ratings by parents and teachers in symptoms of psychopathology. ADHD males were more impaired in processing speed. Some gender differences (locus of control and vocabulary scores) were eliminated when controlling for ADHD severity. The absence of any differences between male and female controls indicates gender differences were specific to the clinical groups.Conclusion: ADHD females are at high risk for more psychological impairment than both ADHD males and control females. The identified psychosocial problems point to areas for intervention.
