While emotion recognition difficulties in moderate-severe TBI are well established, the standard measures of emotion recognition significantly limit the conclusions which can be drawn regarding real-life deficits. Two studies report on the development of CAVEAT, a new measure of emotion recognition that attempts to overcome these limitations.
These studies were designed to establish CAVEAT's psychometric properties by examining performance of a TBI group and matched controls in order to provide estimates of its reliability and validity (study 1), and to compare performance of the TBI and control groups on a subgroup of emotions from the CAVEAT that represented the six basic emotions used in conventional emotion research (study 2). Thirty-two participants with TBI and 32 matched controls (study 1) and 16 participants with TBI and 12 matched controls (study 2) participated in this study.
CAVEAT demonstrated high construct validity and internal consistency. Performance on the subgroup of "basic" six emotions was largely similar to the rates reported in the literature.
These findings provided some evidence for the psychometric properties of CAVEAT, indicating that it can be used as a clinical test for assessing emotion recognition in people with moderate-severe TBI.
虽然中重度创伤性脑损伤（TBI）患者存在情绪识别困难这一点已得到充分证实，但情绪识别的标准测量方法严重限制了我们对现实生活中缺陷所能得出的结论。两项研究报告了CAVEAT的开发情况，这是一种新的情绪识别测量方法，旨在克服这些局限性。
这些研究旨在通过检查创伤性脑损伤组和匹配对照组的表现来确定CAVEAT的心理测量特性，以便对其信度和效度进行评估（研究1），并比较创伤性脑损伤组和对照组在CAVEAT中代表传统情绪研究中使用的六种基本情绪的一个情绪子组上的表现（研究2）。32名创伤性脑损伤患者和32名匹配对照组（研究1）以及16名创伤性脑损伤患者和12名匹配对照组（研究2）参与了本研究。
CAVEAT显示出高结构效度和内部一致性。“基本”六种情绪子组的表现与文献报道的比率基本相似。
这些发现为CAVEAT的心理测量特性提供了一些证据，表明它可作为评估中重度创伤性脑损伤患者情绪识别的临床测试。
