The ADIECAS classroom behaviour rating scale (Evans & Hogg, 1984) was used with a sample of 123 children with Down's syndrome as part of a wider study of child and family adaptation. According to Evans & Hogg, the ADIECAS scale measures two types of behaviour: attentiveness-distractability, and inhibition-excitability. Such measures of behaviour style may be related to behaviour problems and child and family relationships for children with mental handicap. The factor structure of the 16 ADIECAS items was investigated by using confirmatory factor analysis within the LISREL program. Overall, the original factor structure was found to be a poor fit to the new data, in that, while the distractability factor replicated well, the excitability factor split into three. After examining the components of the four factors, two were discarded as containing unreliable items, and goodness of fit statistics on the two revised factors, using 10 of the original 16 items, gave the best results. Thus, the factors structure showed only limited replicability with a different subject group from the original Evans & Hogg study.
作为一项关于儿童与家庭适应的更广泛研究的一部分，对123名唐氏综合征患儿样本使用了ADIECAS课堂行为评定量表（埃文斯和霍格，1984年）。根据埃文斯和霍格的说法，ADIECAS量表测量两种行为类型：注意力分散性和抑制-兴奋性。对于智力障碍儿童，这种行为风格的测量可能与行为问题以及儿童与家庭关系有关。通过在LISREL程序中使用验证性因素分析，对ADIECAS的16个项目的因素结构进行了研究。总体而言，发现原始因素结构与新数据拟合度较差，因为虽然注意力分散因素复制良好，但兴奋性因素分成了三个。在检查了这四个因素的组成部分后，其中两个因包含不可靠项目而被舍弃，使用原始16个项目中的10个对两个修订因素进行拟合优度统计，得到了最佳结果。因此，与埃文斯和霍格的原始研究相比，该因素结构在不同的受试者群体中仅显示出有限的可重复性。
