AB  - Investigating the empirical support of various assessment instruments, the 
      evidence based assessment approach expands the scientific basis of psychotherapy. 
      Starting from Hunsley and Mash's evaluative framework, we critically reviewed the 
      rating scales designed to measure social anxiety or phobia in youth. Thirteen of 
      the most researched social anxiety scales for children and adolescents were 
      identified. An overview about the scientific support accumulated by these scales 
      is offered. Our main results are consistent with recent reviews that consider the 
      Social Phobia and Anxiety Scale for Children (SPAI-C) and the Social Anxiety 
      Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A) among the most pertinent and empirically supported 
      measures of social anxiety for youngsters. However, after considering the 
      existing evidence, we highly recommend another couple of scales that proved to be 
      empirically supported (i.e., the Social Phobia Inventory-SPIN, and the Liebowitz 
      Social Anxiety Scale for Children and Adolescents-LSAS-CA).
