1Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Abstract:
Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) refers to the characteristics and behaviour patterns similar to the defining features of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) which are sub-threshold but still qualitatively similar to ASD. Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (BAPQ) has been established to be reliable tool for assessing BAP which has been translated in different languages. In this article, we describe adaptation and standardization of BAPQ in Hindi, a widely spoken language in India. The questionnaire was translated into Hindi adhering to the International Test Commission Guidelines. The reliability coefficient obtained using Cronabch's Alphas was moderate (0.608). The self report translated version was then administered to 96 parents of children diagnosed with ASD. 68 participants scored over the cutoff to indicate presence of BAP in them. Their responses on BAPQ were analysed through confirmatory factor analysis. Factor analysis revealed different factor structure than given in the original scale. Therefore, based on the findings, a brief scale of BAP is proposed.
