Examined incidence
and intensity of separation anxiety at preschool entry. Found that
the majority of 3- and 4-year-olds were rated as having relatively
low levels of age-appropriate anxiety and fears. Four-year-olds
were rated more fearful than 3-year-olds. Prior separation experience,
sex, age, and general anxiety were related to separation anxiety.
No correlation was found between teacher and parent ratings. (KDFB)
