School Refusal Assessment Scale–Revised Children and Parent: Validation of the Greek Version

In Greece, no assessment scales specifically measure school refusal. The School Refusal Assessment Scale–Revised for Children (SRAS-R-C) and the School Refusal Assessment Scale–Revised for Parents (SRAS-R-P) are widely acclaimed scales for assessing school refusal. The aim of this study was to validate the SRAS-R-C and SRAS-R-P in the Greek population. A total of 125 primary school students and their parents, and 124 middle school students and their parents, participated in this study. Exploratory factor analysis identified six factors for each scale. Variations in the subscales across the four developed scales (for primary and middle school students and their parents accordingly) suggest that separate validation may be necessary for primary and secondary school students, as well as for their parents.
