Results

Cronbach's alpha of the translated scale was 0.87 and test-rest reliability was 0.72.The 17 items were divided into four domains.Corrected item-domain correlation ranges from 0.58 to 0.90.There was a certain logical relationship between the items among the same domains.There was highly significant association between the self-report of the modified CFSS-DS and the parental-report of modified CFSS-DS, also between the self-report of the modified CFSS-DS and Frankl Behavioral Scale, the correlation of twice were 0.93, -0.411 (P <0.01).
