The Kiddie-Infant Descriptive Instrument for Emotional States (KIDIES) was used to overcome the limitations of microanalytic facial observations and subjective assessments in the diagnosis of childhood developmental disorders. The KIDIES quantifies eight behavioral and eight affective dimensions by evaluating facial, vocal, gestural, and postural displays. In a sample of 42 subjects, KIDIES ratings distinguished between children with pervasive developmental disorder and a comparison group with mixed developmental diagnoses, and demonstrated sensitivity to emotional changes as a result of environmental shift. The results suggest that the KIDIES has potential as a reliable instrument for evaluating emotional and behavioral patterns in young developmentally disordered children.
儿童情绪状态描述工具（KIDIES）被用于克服微观分析面部观察和主观评估在儿童发育障碍诊断中的局限性。KIDIES通过评估面部、声音、手势和姿势表现来量化八个行为维度和八个情感维度。在42名受试者的样本中，KIDIES评分区分了患有广泛性发育障碍的儿童和具有混合发育诊断的对照组，并显示出对环境变化导致的情绪变化的敏感性。结果表明，KIDIES有潜力成为评估发育障碍幼儿情绪和行为模式的可靠工具。
