The Affect in Play Scale-Preschool (APS-P) and Affect in Play Scale-Preschool-Brief Rating (APS-P-BR) versions assess cognitive and affective play processes during a 5-min standardized play task. In this study, construct validity, external validity, and factor analyses for each scale were examined in 107 preschoolers. Reliability and validity were supported. Unlike results found with school-aged samples, positive affect loaded with the cognitive variables on factor analyses of the APS-P and APS-P-BR, suggesting that negative and undefined affect might represent a separate factor in preschool-aged children. Developmental significance and implications for use of the 2 scoring versions are discussed.
游戏中的情感量表-学前版（APS-P）和游戏中的情感量表-学前版简短评分版（APS-P-BR）评估了在 5 分钟标准化游戏任务期间的认知和情感游戏过程。在这项研究中，对 107 名学龄前儿童的每个量表的结构有效性、外部有效性和因子分析进行了检验。结果支持了可靠性和有效性。与学龄儿童样本的结果不同，积极情感与 APS-P 和 APS-P-BR 的认知变量一起加载在因子分析中，这表明消极和未定义的情感可能代表学龄前儿童的一个单独因素。讨论了使用这两种评分版本的发展意义和影响。
