| Abstract: | Described the development of the Child Attitude Toward IllnessScale (CATIS), a short self-report instrument designed to providea systematic assessment of how favorably or unfavorably childrenfeel about having a chronic physical condition. Subjects werechildren (N = 269), ages 8–12 years, who had either epilepsy(n = 136) or asthma (n = 133). Results of confirmatory factoranalysis and predicted relationships with scores on the ChildBehavior Checklist and the Piers-Harris Children's Self-ConceptScale provided support for construct validity of the scale.Good internal consistency and test-retest reliability were alsofound. |
