The Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD Symptoms and Normal Behavior (SWAN) Rating Scale differs from previous parent reports of ADHD in that it was designed to also measure variability at the positive end of the symptom spectrum.
The psychometric properties of the SWAN were tested and compared with an established measure of ADHD, the Disruptive Behavior Rating Scale (DBRS).
The SWAN demonstrates comparable validity, reliability, and heritability to the DBRS. Furthermore, plots of the SWAN and DBRS reveal heteroscedasticity, which supports the SWAN as a preferred measure of positive attention and impulse regulation behaviors.
The ability of the SWAN to measure additional variance at the adaptive end of the ADHD symptom dimensions makes it a promising tool for behavioral genetic studies of ADHD.
注意力缺陷多动障碍症状和正常行为（SWAN）评定量表的优势和劣势与之前的多动症家长报告不同，因为它旨在测量症状谱阳性端的可变性。
测试了 SWAN 的心理测量特性，并与 ADHD 的既定测量工具——破坏性行为评定量表（DBRS）进行了比较。
SWAN 与 DBRS 具有可比性的有效性、可靠性和遗传性。此外，SWAN 和 DBRS 的图表显示异方差性，这支持 SWAN 作为积极注意和冲动调节行为的首选测量工具。
SWAN 能够测量 ADHD 症状维度适应性端的额外方差，这使其成为 ADHD 行为遗传学研究的有前途的工具。
