The present study reports the development and application of the Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS), a parental self-report designed to assess the quantity and quality of affordances in the home environment that are conducive to motor development for infants aged 3-18 months.
Steps in its development included use of expert feedback, establishment of construct validity, interrater and intrarater reliability, and predictive validity. With all phases of the project, 113 homes were involved.
Intraclass correlation coefficients for interrater and intrarater reliability for the total score were 1 and 0.94, respectively. In addition, results indicate that the test has the characteristic of differentiating a wide range of scores. Regression analysis for the AHEMD-IS and motor development using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale supports preliminary evidence for predictive validity.
Our findings suggest that the AHEMD-IS has sufficient reliability and validity as an instrument for assessing affordances in the home environment, with clinical and research applications.
本研究报告了家庭环境中促进运动发育的可供性-婴儿量表(AHEMD-IS)的开发与应用,这是一种家长自评量表,旨在评估家庭环境中有利于3至18个月婴儿运动发育的可供性的数量和质量。
其开发步骤包括使用专家反馈、建立结构效度、评分者间信度和评分者内信度以及预测效度。该项目的所有阶段都涉及113个家庭。
总分的评分者间信度和评分者内信度的组内相关系数分别为1和0.94。此外,结果表明该测试具有区分广泛分数范围的特征。使用艾伯塔婴儿运动量表对AHEMD-IS和运动发育进行回归分析,支持了预测效度的初步证据。
我们的研究结果表明,AHEMD-IS作为评估家庭环境中可供性的工具具有足够的信度和效度,可用于临床和研究。
