Reliability and construct validity are reported for the Frontal Lobe Personality Scale (FLOPS), a brief neurobehavior rating scale. The FLOPS Family form was completed by family members of 24 frontal lobe brain-damaged patients, 15 non-frontal lobe brain- damaged patients, and 48 healthy controls. Intrascale reliability was demonstrated (internal consistency.96; split half.93). Validity studies of frontal lobe patients post-lesion compared to their pre-lesion status, to healthy controls, and of frontal lobe patients pre- and post-lesion compared to non-frontal lobe patients pre- and post-lesion, indicated that frontal lobe patients post-lesion showed significantly more frontal behavior than (a) pre-lesion frontal lobe patients, (b) healthy controls, and (c) post-lesion non-frontal lobe patients. The FLOPS appears to be useful for quantifying frontal lobe behavior in clinical and research settings.
本文报告了一种简短的神经行为评定量表——额叶人格量表（FLOPS）的信度和结构效度。FLOPS家庭版由24名额叶脑损伤患者、15名非额叶脑损伤患者的家庭成员以及48名健康对照者完成。结果显示量表内部具有信度（内部一致性系数为0.96；分半信度为0.93）。对额叶患者损伤后与损伤前状态、与健康对照者进行效度研究，以及对额叶患者损伤前后与非额叶患者损伤前后进行比较研究，结果表明额叶损伤后的患者比（a）损伤前的额叶患者、（b）健康对照者以及（c）损伤后的非额叶患者表现出明显更多的额叶行为。FLOPS似乎在临床和研究环境中对量化额叶行为有用。
