Developed, piloted, and examined the psychometric properties of the Child and Adolescent Social and Adaptive Functioning Scale (CASAFS), a self-report measure designed to examine the social functioning of young people in the areas of school performance, peer relationships, family relationships, and home duties/self-care. The findings of confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis support a 4-factor solution consistent with the hypothesized domains. Fit indexes suggested that the 4-correlated factor model represented a satisfactory solution for the data, with the covariation between factors being satisfactorily explained by a single, higher order factor reflecting social and adaptive functioning in general. The internal consistency and 12-month test-retest reliability of the total scale was acceptable. A significant, negative correlation was found between the CASAFS and a measure of depressive symptoms, showing that high levels of social functioning are associated with low levels of depression. Significant differences in CASAFS total and subscale scores were found between clinically depressed adolescents and a matched sample of nonclinical controls. Adolescents who reported elevated but subclinical levels of depression also reported lower levels of social functioning in comparison to nonclinical controls.
开发、试行并检验了儿童和青少年社会与适应功能量表（CASAFS）的心理测量特性。该量表是一项自陈式测量工具，旨在考察青少年在学业表现、同伴关系、家庭关系以及家务/自我照料等方面的社会功能。验证性和探索性因素分析结果支持了一个与假设领域一致的四因素解决方案。拟合指数表明，四相关因素模型对数据而言是一个令人满意的解决方案，各因素之间的协方差由一个反映总体社会和适应功能的单一高阶因素得到了令人满意的解释。总量表的内部一致性和12个月的重测信度是可接受的。CASAFS与抑郁症状测量之间存在显著的负相关，表明高水平的社会功能与低水平的抑郁相关。临床抑郁青少年与匹配的非临床对照组样本在CASAFS总分和分量表得分上存在显著差异。与非临床对照组相比，报告抑郁水平升高但处于亚临床水平的青少年也报告了较低的社会功能水平。
