      Invariance in Two Community Samples of Youth.

AB  - In this study, we examined the longitudinal measurement invariance of a 12-item 
      short version of the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A) in two 4-year 
      longitudinal community samples ( N(sample 1) = 815, M(age) T(1) = 13.38 years; 
      N(sample 2) = 551, M(age) T(1) = 14.82 years). Using confirmatory factor 
      analyses, we found strict longitudinal measurement invariance for the 
      three-factor structure of the SAS-A across adolescence, across samples, and 
      across gender. Some developmental changes in social anxiety were found from early 
      to mid-adolescence, as well as gender differences across adolescence. These 
      findings suggest that the short version of the SAS-A is a developmentally 
      appropriate instrument that can be used effectively to examine adolescent social 
      anxiety development.
