This study used the Response Evaluation Measure-Youth (REM-Y-71), a self-report measure of 21 defense reactions, among school-age children. Participants were elementary and middle school students (n = 290; grades 3-8; age range: 8-15; mean = 11.73). Factor analysis revealed a 2-factor defense structure consistent with structure among high school and adult samples. The composite REM-Y defense scores for each factor were significant predictors of social desirability, using the Children's Defensiveness Scale (CDS); anxiety, using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC); and psychosocial functioning. This study represents the first cross-sectional empirical analysis of overall defense structure and use among children and early adolescents.
本研究使用了青少年反应评估量表(REM-Y-71),这是一种针对学龄儿童的21种防御反应的自我报告量表。参与者为小学生和中学生(n = 290;3至8年级;年龄范围:8至15岁;平均年龄 = 11.73岁)。因子分析揭示了一种双因子防御结构,这与高中和成人样本中的结构一致。使用儿童防御性量表(CDS)时,每个因子的综合REM-Y防御得分是社会期望性的显著预测指标;使用儿童状态-特质焦虑量表(STAIC)时,是焦虑的显著预测指标;也是心理社会功能的显著预测指标。本研究是对儿童和青少年早期整体防御结构及防御运用的首次横断面实证分析。
