Abstract

The Social Support Questionnaire for Children (SSQC) is a 50-item scale that assesses children’s social support from parents, relatives, nonrelative adults, siblings, and peers. The SSQC demonstrates good psychometric properties (e.g., internal consistency, factorial validity). Furthermore, the SSQC appears to be an ethnically sensitive measure of children’s social support.
