A 20 item observational measure of social functioning, the Impression of Interviewee rating scale, is one of three measures devised to assess the broader autism phenotype. The sample studied included families containing at least two individuals with autism spectrum disorder; observations were undertaken by the researcher who interviewed the subject. An exploratory factor analysis suggested a single factor was most appropriate (Cronbach's α of 0.78). There was a modest but significant retest correlation of 0.42. Correlations between live ratings and blind consensus ratings of vignettes were high (0.93). Correlations with the interview measures were moderate but statistically significant. In conclusion, the observational scale provides a promising start but further work is required before general use can be recommended.
一项包含 20 个项目的社交功能观察评估工具,即受访者印象评定量表,是用于评估广泛自闭症表型的三种评估工具之一。所研究的样本包括至少有两个自闭症谱系障碍个体的家庭;观察由对被试进行访谈的研究人员进行。探索性因素分析表明,单一因素最适用(Cronbach 的 α 为 0.78)。测试间有适度但显著的 0.42 相关系数。现场评分与情景片段盲共识评分之间的相关性很高(0.93)。与访谈测量的相关性适中,但具有统计学意义。总之,该观察量表提供了一个有希望的起点,但在推荐广泛使用之前,还需要进一步的工作。
