Trait Anxiety in Young Athletes as a Function of Parental Pressure and Motivational Climate: Is Parental Pressure Always Harmful? (2011, result): “Smith et al. (2006) have demonstrated the factorial and construct validity of this measure for our age group and they reported reliability coefficients that are similar to ours (Table 1), with alpha coefficients exceeding .90 for total score in both child and adult samples.”
Development and Validation of the Motivational Climate Scale for Youth Sports (2008, methodology): “…level resulted in the emergence of the original three-factor structure in children as young as 9 years of age, not only indicating that children could discriminate between somatic and cognitive aspects of anxiety, but also illustrating the importance of test item reading level (Smith et al., 2006).”
Examining the Efficacy of Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) on Irrational Beliefs and Anxiety in Elite Youth Cricketers (2013, methodology): “Overall, the SAS-2 demonstrates acceptable internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity (Smith et al., 2006).”
Validity and Reliability of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) in Competitive Sport (2016, result): “Smith and colleagues reported much stronger validity and reliability for the SAS-2 in comparison to the original SAS and recommended its use for both child and adult populations (Smith et al., 2006).”
