The cross-cultural validity of the Mandarin-adaptation of the social responsiveness scale (SRS) was examined in a sample of N = 307 participants in Taiwan, 140 typically developing and 167 with clinically-diagnosed developmental disorders. This scale is an autism assessment tool that provides a quantitative rather than categorical measure of social impairment in the general population. SRS total and subscale scores distinguished significantly between autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disorders (p < 0.01). Total SRS scores and sensitivity and specificity of the scale for diagnosing developmental disorders in the Taiwan study were similar to those observed in Western studies. These findings support the cross-cultural validity of the SRS scale for detecting autistic traits and for distinguishing between autism and other neuropsychiatric conditions.
该研究旨在探讨普通话适应版社会反应量表（SRS）在台湾地区样本中的跨文化有效性。该样本共包括 307 名参与者，其中 140 名为典型发育者，167 名为临床诊断为发育障碍者。该量表是一种自闭症评估工具，提供了一种定量而非分类的方法来衡量普通人群中的社交障碍。SRS 总分和分量表得分可显著区分自闭症谱系障碍和其他发育障碍（p<0.01）。台湾研究中的 SRS 总分以及该量表对发育障碍的诊断敏感性和特异性与西方研究中的结果相似。这些发现支持 SRS 量表在检测自闭症特征以及区分自闭症和其他神经精神疾病方面的跨文化有效性。
