To explore the psychometric properties of the Test of Everyday Attention for Children (TEA-Ch) in the context of a Chinese setting.
Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to examine the construct validity of the Chinese version of the TEA-Ch among a group of 232 children without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Test-retest reliability was tested on a random sub-sample of 20 children at a 4-week interval. Clinical discrimination was also examined by comparing children with and without ADHD (22 in each group) on the performances of the TEA-Ch.
The current Chinese sample demonstrated a three-factor solution for attentional performance among children without ADHD, namely selective attention, executive control/switch, and sustained attention (chi(2)(24)=34.56; RMSEA=.044; p=.075). Moreover, the whole test demonstrated acceptable test-retest reliability at a 4-week interval among a small sub-sample. Children with ADHD performed significantly more poorly than healthy controls in most of the subtests of the TEA-Ch.
The results of the present study demonstrate that the test items remain useful in China, a culture very different from that in which the test originated. Finally, the TEA-Ch also presents several advantages when compared to other conventional objective measures of attention.
在中国背景下探究儿童日常注意力测试（TEA-Ch）的心理测量特性。
对232名无注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童进行验证性因素分析，以检验中文版TEA-Ch的结构效度。对20名儿童的随机子样本进行重测信度测试，间隔4周。通过比较患有和未患有ADHD的儿童（每组22名）在TEA-Ch测试中的表现来检验临床辨别力。
当前中国样本显示，在无ADHD的儿童中，注意力表现存在三因素解决方案，即选择性注意、执行控制/转换和持续性注意（χ²(24)=34.56；RMSEA=.044；p=.075）。此外，在一个小子样本中，整个测试在4周间隔时显示出可接受的重测信度。在TEA-Ch的大多数子测试中，患有ADHD的儿童表现明显比健康对照组差。
本研究结果表明，该测试项目在中国仍然有用，中国与该测试起源的文化有很大不同。最后，与其他传统的注意力客观测量方法相比，TEA-Ch也有几个优点。
