Abstract

The authors developed a scale, which measures mothering anxiety and can be used as an assessment tool, helping clinicians understand what are the primary triggers for mothering anxiety. The scale has five subscales: (1) Worry about health, (2) worry about academics, (3) worry about social relationships, (4) worry about safety, and (5) worry about one's ability to mother correctly. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the five-factor model has good validity evidence based on internal structure.
