Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (TSCC)
Produktinformationen "Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (TSCC)"
The Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (TSCC™) is a self-report measure of ‘post-traumatic distress and related psychological symptomatology’ in children and adolescents aged 8 – 16 years. It is useful in the evaluation of children who have experienced traumatic events, including physical and sexual assault, victimisation by peers, major losses, the witnessing of violence done to others and natural disasters. The instrument is suitable for individual or group administration.
Areas Measured
- Two validity scales: Under-response and Hyper-response
- Six Clinical scales: Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Post-traumatic Stress Dissociation, Sexual Concerns
- Eight Critical Items: Potential Self Injury, Suicidal Tendency, Desire to Harm Others, Expectations of Sexual Maltreatment, Involvement in Fights, Fears of Men, Fears of Women, Fears of Being Killed.
The TSCC is available in two versions: the full 54 item test that includes 10 items tapping sexual symptoms and preoccupation and a 44 item alternate version (TSCC-A) that makes no reference to sexual issues. In the interests of more complete evaluation the full TSCC is recommended over the TSCC-A unless there are factors that preclude its use.
The items of the TSCC are contained in a test booklet in which the child directly writes his or her responses. The child is presented with a list of thoughts, feelings and behaviours and is asked to mark how often each of these things happens to him or her. Each item is rated on a four-point scale anchored at 0 (never) and 3 (almost all of the time).
