摘要：The aim of this study was to validate the Fear of Cockroaches Questionnaire (FCQ) in general Italian population. The FCQ is an 18-item self-report questionnaire assessing fear of cockroaches. It was translated in Italian and modified as a cockroach adaption of the Fear of Spiders Questionnaire. Data obtained from 329 (mean age 24.21 ± 4.08 years) undergraduates revealed that the FCQ allowed discrimination between high fear and low fear subjects. Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed a mono-factorial structure. The FCQ has a good test-retest reliability (r=0.95) and a good internal consistency (α=0.95). The FCQ correlates with other measures related to fear of small animals, showing good concurrent validity. Finally, the FCQ score seems to be a measure of the fear free from disgust and anxiety caused by the cockroach exposition.
