Although previous studies have questioned the factor structure of the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS), it continues to be one of the most prominent measures used to assess child social skills. Previous examinations of the SSRS have been conducted on samples that differ demographically from the standardization sample. The present study presents a factor analysis of the SSRS parent elementary form, social skills domain, in a sample of 298 non-referred children. Similar to previous research, the factor structure proposed by the authors of the SSRS was not replicated. An alternative 2-factor model based on previous research also did not adequately fit the data. Other psychometric properties, such as the range of inter-item correlations, were evaluated and did not meet suggested guidelines for test construction. Despite its psychometric difficulties, the SSRS was related to history of treatment for peer difficulties.
尽管先前的研究对社交技能评定系统（SSRS）的因子结构提出了质疑，但它仍然是用于评估儿童社交技能的最突出的测量方法之一。先前对SSRS的检验是在人口统计学特征与标准化样本不同的样本上进行的。本研究对298名未被转诊儿童的样本进行了SSRS家长小学版社交技能领域的因子分析。与先前的研究类似，SSRS的作者提出的因子结构没有得到重复验证。基于先前研究的另一种二因素模型也不能很好地拟合数据。其他心理测量特性，如项目间相关性的范围，也进行了评估，但未达到测试构建的建议指南。尽管存在心理测量方面的困难，但SSRS与同伴问题的治疗史有关。
