Children's Form of Manifest Anxiety Scale (CMAS)

The Children's Form of Manifest Anxiety Scale (CMAS)

In 1956, psychologists A. Castaneda, B. R. McCandless, D. S. Palermo developed an anxiety scale for 7 to 12 old children, which evaluates anxiety as a stable psychological reaction. Anxiety could lead to manifestations such as tension and nervousness, feelings of helplessness, insecurity and loneliness.

Anxiety also affects an individual physically: it provokes an increased heartbeat and fast breathing, an increase in blood pressure and general excitability of the child.

Child Anxiety Test

Psychologists believe that anxiety at a normal level contributes to adapting to a situation, an adequate response to a stimulus. But with extremely high indicators, a child may have problems when solving even ordinary tasks and interacting with the outside world.

Provide your child with the opportunity to take the test, create conditions under which they can honestly answer the questions.

Note this test is intended solely for informational and educational purposes; its results cannot replace the real help of a specialist and should not be used for making any decision.
