Strength-based assessment has been identified as an appropriate approach to use in planning treatment and evaluating outcomes of youth in residential settings. In previous research, the Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale-2, a standardized and norm-referenced strength-based measure, has demonstrated adequate reliability and validity with youth served in community and educational settings. The purpose of the present study was to examine the internal reliability and convergent validity of the BERS-2 by comparing the test to the Child Behavior Checklist and the Symptoms and Functioning Severity Scale. The results indicate that the scores from the BERS-2 are internally consistent and converge with other behavioral and emotional measures which, taken together, suggest that the BERS-2 could be acceptable for assessing the emotional and behavioral strengths of youth in residential settings. Study limitations and future research directions are identified.
基于优势的评估已被确定为一种适用于规划治疗和评估寄宿环境中青年治疗结果的方法。在先前的研究中,行为与情绪评定量表-2(一种标准化且以常模为参照的基于优势的测量工具)已证明在社区和教育环境中接受服务的青少年中具有足够的信度和效度。本研究的目的是通过将该测试与儿童行为清单以及症状与功能严重程度量表进行比较,来检验行为与情绪评定量表-2的内部信度和聚合效度。结果表明,行为与情绪评定量表-2的得分在内部是一致的,并且与其他行为和情绪测量方法具有趋同性,综合来看,这表明行为与情绪评定量表-2可用于评估寄宿环境中青年的情绪和行为优势。研究局限性和未来研究方向也已明确。
