AB  - This study examined the reliability and validity evidence drawn from the scores 
      of the Spanish version of the Slovenian-developed Social Anxiety Scale for 
      Adolescents (SASA; Puklek, 1997; Puklek & Vidmar, 2000) using a community sample 
      (Study 1) and a clinical sample (Study 2). Confirmatory factor analysis in Study 
      1 replicated the 2-factor structure found by the original authors in a sample of 
      Slovenian adolescents. Test-retest reliability was adequate. Furthermore, the 
      SASA correlated significantly with other social anxiety scales, supporting 
      concurrent validity evidence in Spanish adolescents. The results of Study 2 
      confirmed the correlations between the SASA and other social anxiety measures in 
      a clinical sample. In addition, findings revealed that the SASA can effectively 
      discriminate between adolescents with a clinical diagnosis of social anxiety 
      disorder (SAD) and those without this disorder. Finally, cut-off scores for the 
      SASA are provided for Spanish adolescents.
