The aim of this study was to explore the internal consistency and confirm the factor structure of the Separation Anxiety Symptom Inventory for Children (SASI–C) in a community sample of 329 Italian children, ages 6 to 10 years. A confirmatory factor analysis yielded two interpretable factors. Correlations between scores for the SASI–C and the Italian Fear Survey Schedule for Children were calculated to estimate convergent validity; medium effect sizes are hypothesized. Implications regarding the clinical utility of the SASI–C are discussed.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the internal consistency and confirm the factor structure of the Separation Anxiety Symptom Inventory for Children (SASI–C) in a community sample of 329 Italian children, ages 6 to 10 years. A confirmatory factor analysis yielded two interpretable factors. Correlations between scores for the SASI–C and the Italian Fear Survey Schedule for Children were calculated to estimate convergent validity; medium effect sizes are hypothesized. Implications regarding the clinical utility of the SASI–C are discussed.
