A preliminary form of a new version of the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME) is presented. It is designed for use with families of children aged 10-15. The 80-item preliminary version of the Preadolescent HOME (PA-HOME) was field tested on 117 children with varying disabilities. The 80 items were selected from a pool of over 250 items by means of several field tests and accompanying item analyses. Both factor analyses and item analyses were used to help pare down items and produce a scale with acceptable psychometric properties. The psychometric properties of the PA-HOME are quite similar to those reported for the other three versions of the HOME Inventory. It appears to be a reasonably reliable scale with moderate correlations with other measures of the family environment, such as SES, social support, and marital stability. It has low to moderate correlations with measures of child competence in this sample of children with disabilities. The correlations are of the same general magnitude of correlations between the Infant-Toddler, Early Childhood, and Middle Childhood versions of HOME in samples of younger children with disabilities.
本文介绍了新版家庭环境测量观察法（HOME）的初步形式。它专为10至15岁儿童的家庭设计。青少年前期HOME（PA-HOME）的80项初步版本在117名有不同残疾的儿童中进行了实地测试。这80个项目是通过多次实地测试和相关项目分析从250多个项目中挑选出来的。因子分析和项目分析都被用来帮助减少项目数量，并产生一个具有可接受心理测量特性的量表。PA-HOME的心理测量特性与HOME量表其他三个版本所报告的特性非常相似。它似乎是一个相当可靠的量表，与家庭环境的其他测量指标（如社会经济地位、社会支持和婚姻稳定性）有中等程度的相关性。在这个残疾儿童样本中，它与儿童能力测量指标的相关性较低至中等。这些相关性与残疾幼儿、幼儿期和童年中期版本的HOME在较年幼儿童样本中的相关性大致相同。
