ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Arabic version of the SCICA. The Arabic version of SCICA was administered to 42 children aged 6-11 years attending the psychiatry outpatient clinic; Mansoura University Hospital, Egypt. Test-retest correlation after two months and Cronbach's alpha of the internal consistency of the eight sub-scales and the two global scales were adequate. The concurrent validity, assessed by a correlation with the child behavior checklist [CBCL] was also found to be moderate. In conclusion the present study showed that the Arabic version of the SCICA is a good instrument for clinical and research use
