The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functions (BRIEF) scale, completed by families, is widely known in the assessment of executive functions in children and adolescents. However, its application is limited to English-speaking population.
This study analyzes the preliminary results from its application in a Spanish clinical sample, comprising 125 participants aged 5-18 years. Internal structure and reliability of the translated scale were analyzed, as well as its relationship with other behavioral measures through the analysis of their correlations with the Assessment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Scale (EDAH). The results were compared with those from the original validation study.
The data revealed the presence of the same internal structure, as well as acceptable internal consistency and significant correlations with the Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity components of the EDAH scale.
This study provides preliminary evidence of the utility of the BRIEF scale in cultural contexts different from the original, particularly in Spanish clinical population.
由家庭完成的执行功能行为评定量表(BRIEF)在儿童和青少年执行功能评估中广为人知。然而,其应用仅限于说英语的人群。
本研究分析了该量表在一个西班牙临床样本中的初步应用结果,该样本包括125名年龄在5至18岁之间的参与者。分析了翻译后量表的内部结构和信度,以及通过与注意力缺陷多动障碍评定量表(EDAH)的相关性分析其与其他行为测量指标的关系。将结果与原始验证研究的结果进行比较。
数据显示存在相同的内部结构,以及可接受的内部一致性,并且与EDAH量表的注意力缺陷和多动成分存在显著相关性。
本研究提供了初步证据,证明BRIEF量表在与原始文化背景不同的环境中,特别是在西班牙临床人群中具有实用性。
