### **Overview** The **Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children Second Edition (MASC 2)** is a psychological assessment tool designed to evaluate anxiety-related symptoms in children and adolescents aged 8 to 19. It measures different dimensions of anxiety, including physical symptoms, harm avoidance, social anxiety, and separation anxiety, offering a detailed profile of a young individual's anxiety levels and patterns. ### **Applications** The MASC 2 is widely used in clinical, school, and research settings to assess the severity and type of anxiety disorders in children and adolescents. It helps clinicians and educators identify anxiety issues early on, guide treatment planning, and monitor progress over time. This tool is particularly useful for detecting specific anxiety-related concerns, such as phobias or social fears. #Psychological-Test
