概括
新的查工具,成年人自闭症查 (SfA-A) 和女性自闭症查 (SfA-F),显示出在巴西成年人中识别自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的希望. 这些工具旨在减少低诊断,特别是在女性中.
科学领域:
- 神经发育障碍 神经发育障碍
- 心理测量 心理测量 心理测量
- 全球健康 全球健康
背景情况:
- 在全球范围内,自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的诊断越来越多,但在像巴西这样的低收入和中等收入国家,诊断不足仍然存在.
- 患有自闭症的女性经常表现出微妙的症状和伪装行为,导致潜在的误诊或延迟识别.
研究的目的:
- 评估两种新的查工具,即成人自闭症查 (SfA-A) 和女性自闭症查 (SfA-F),以改善巴西成年人ASD检测.
- 解决巴西人口中成人自闭症查中的关键缺口.
主要方法:
- 在巴西成年人大样本上使用探索性结构方程建模 (ESEM) (SfA-A的N=3302,SfA-F的N=7738).
- 使用克朗巴赫的alpha,麦当劳的omega和测试-重新测试方法评估可靠性.
- 确定了与AQ-10和其他自闭症相关问题的标准有效性,建立了基于百分位数的规范.
主要成果:
- 通过因素分析,SfA-A和SfA-F都显示出强大的模型匹配.
- 仪器表现出高的内部一致性 (克朗巴赫α>0.8) 和初始标准有效性.
- 根据巴西成年人口的百分位数排名,成功建立了标准.
结论:
- SfA-A和SfA-F是经过验证的工具,旨在加强巴西成年人ASD查.
- 这些仪器显示出识别患有自闭症症状的个体的巨大潜力,促进了进一步的诊断评估.

Self-Report Tests of Personality
456
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.
