AB  - This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the 
      Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A) in a sample of 296 adolescents (49% 
      boys) in Grades 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 with a mean age of 15.52 years. Confirmatory 
      factor analysis replicated the three-factor structure of the SAS-A in the Chinese 
      sample: Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE), Social Avoidance and Distress in New 
      Situations (SAD-New), and Social Avoidance and Distress-General (SAD-General). 
      Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were appropriate. The results 
      also revealed a clear and predictable pattern of relationships between the SAS-A 
      and the Questionnaire about Interpersonal Difficulties for Adolescents and the 
      International Personality Item Pool. Chinese boys reported greater SAD-General 
      than Chinese girls, and this difference increased with grade. The SAS-A scores 
      were compared to previously collected data from the USA and Spain, revealing that 
      Chinese adolescents scored significantly higher in social anxiety than American 
      and Spanish adolescents.
