The Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children 2 (MASC 2) is a questionnaire for the evaluation of the main dimensions of anxiety in children and adolescents from 8 to 19 years of age. The self-report form contains 50 items, which measure Separation/Fears, Generalized Anxiety (GAD) Index, Obsessions/Compulsions, Harm Avoidance, Social Anxiety (Humiliation/Rejection and Performance Fears), and Physical Symptoms (Panic and Tense/Restless). The Italian version of MASC 2 has shown excellent validity, like the original version, a good internal consistency, and test–retest reliability (18).
