Factor analytic and construct validity studies were conducted to explore the validity of Cicirelli's (1988) 13-item Filial Anxiety Scale (FAS). The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, 1983), and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (Crowne & Marlowe, 1960), were a part of the investigation. The results offer support for the validity of the FAS subscales and the FAS' usefulness as an instrument for measuring adult children's feelings concerning elder-parent care.
