The development of the Tinnitus Reaction Questionnaire (TRQ), a scale designed to assess the psychological distress associated with tinnitus, is described. Psychometric analyses of the TRQ are examined with a total of 156 subjects in three separate samples. The results indicate very good test-retest reliability (r = .88) and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = .96). Factor analysis yielded four factors that were interpreted as General Distress, Interference, Severity, and Avoidance. Moderate to high correlations were found between the TRQ and clinician ratings (r = .67) and self-report measures of anxiety and depression (r = .58-.87), but a low correlation was found with neuroticism (r = .27). It is concluded that the TRQ provides a useful index of distress related to tinnitus for subject selection and clinical assessment and has potential as a measure of change in coping ability.
本文介绍了耳鸣反应问卷（TRQ）的编制情况，该量表旨在评估与耳鸣相关的心理困扰。对TRQ进行了心理测量分析，共有156名受试者被分为三个独立样本进行研究。结果显示，该问卷具有非常好的重测信度（r = 0.88）和内部一致性（克朗巴哈系数α = 0.96）。因子分析得出四个因子，分别被解释为一般困扰、干扰、严重程度和回避。TRQ与临床医生评级之间存在中度至高度相关性（r = 0.67），与焦虑和抑郁的自我报告测量结果之间也存在中度至高度相关性（r = 0.58 - 0.87），但与神经质的相关性较低（r = 0.27）。研究得出结论，TRQ为耳鸣相关困扰提供了一个有用的指标，可用于受试者选择和临床评估，并且有可能作为应对能力变化的一种测量工具。
