The Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS) is used to retroactively assess ADHD symptoms. This study sought to determine whether the WURS actually functions as an index of dysfunctional personality traits.
Five hundred twenty-two adult participants completed the WURS and at least one of the following measures: Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III (WAIS-III), Trails Making Test (Forms A and B), Conners' Continuous Performance Test, d2 Test of Attention, and the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI).
The WURS correlated significantly with all PAI clinical and treatment scales; however, of the neuropsychological measures, only the CPT significantly correlated with the WURS score. Multiple regression analyses revealed a significant model that included clinical and treatment scales from the PAI as well as working memory and processing speed indexes from the WAIS-III that accounted for 39% of the variance in WURS scores.
Performance on the WURS was more related to dysfunctional personality traits than to actual attentional performance in this young adult sample. (J. of Att. Dis. 2009; 13(1) 87-94).
温德犹他评定量表（WURS）用于追溯性评估注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）症状。本研究旨在确定WURS是否实际上作为功能失调性人格特质的指标。
522名成年参与者完成了WURS以及以下至少一项测量：韦氏成人智力量表第三版（WAIS-III）、连线测验（A式和B式）、康纳斯连续操作测验、注意力d2测试和人格评估问卷（PAI）。
WURS与所有PAI临床及治疗量表均显著相关；然而，在神经心理学测量中，只有连续操作测验与WURS得分显著相关。多元回归分析显示，一个显著的模型包括PAI的临床及治疗量表以及WAIS-III的工作记忆和加工速度指数，该模型解释了WURS得分中39%的方差。
在这个年轻成人样本中，WURS的表现与功能失调性人格特质的关系比与实际注意力表现的关系更大。（《注意力障碍杂志》2009年；13(1) 87 - 94）
