This study was conducted to examine an adaptation of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS) [Sparrow, S. S., Balla, D. A., & Cicchetti, D. V. (1984). The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales. Circle Pines, MN: America Guidance Service; Sparrow, S. S., Balla, D. A., & Cicchetti, D. V. (2005). Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Second Edition Survey Forms Manual. AGS Publishing] and its psychometric properties in Vietnamese culture. The 1984 version of VABS was translated and adapted to form the Vietnamese version of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VVABS). The scale was administered to 120 Vietnamese mothers of non-disabled preschool-age children enrolled in kindergarten programs. It was found that the VVABS has acceptable levels of internal consistency reliability and construct validity, and could discriminate successfully between Vietnamese children with intellectual disabilities from those of typical development. The results that were comparable to the VABS indicate a successful adaptation of the construct and measure of adaptive behavior to a non-western culture.
本研究旨在检验《温兰德适应行为量表》（VABS）[斯帕罗，S.S.，巴拉，D.A.，& 奇切蒂，D.V.（1984年）。《温兰德适应行为量表》。明尼苏达州圆松林：美国指导服务公司；斯帕罗，S.S.，巴拉，D.A.，& 奇切蒂，D.V.（2005年）。《温兰德适应行为量表第二版调查表手册》。AGS出版社]在越南文化中的一种改编形式及其心理测量特性。1984年版的VABS被翻译并改编，形成了越南版的《温兰德适应行为量表》（VVABS）。该量表被施用于120名就读于幼儿园项目的非残疾学龄前儿童的越南母亲。结果发现，VVABS具有可接受水平的内部一致性信度和结构效度，并且能够成功地区分越南智障儿童和发育正常儿童。与VABS可比的结果表明，适应行为的结构和测量成功地适应了非西方文化。
