To describe the reliability and validity of a new measure, the Social Skills Questionnaire for Traumatic Brain Injury (SSQ-TBI).
Fifty-one adults with severe TBI completed the SSQ-TBI questionnaire. Scores were compared to informant- and self-report on questionnaires addressing frontal lobe mediated behaviour, as well as performance on an objective measure of social cognition and neuropsychological tasks, in order to provide evidence of concurrent, divergent and predictive validity.
Internal consistency was excellent at α = 0.90. Convergent validity was good, with informant ratings on the SSQ-TBI significantly correlated with Neuropsychiatric Inventory Disinhibition sub-scales (r = 0.50-63), the Current Behaviour Scale (r = 0.39-0.48) and Frontal Systems Behaviour Scale (r = 0.60-0.83). However, no relationship was seen with an objective measure of social skills or neuropsychological tasks of disinhibition. There was a significant relationship with real-world psychosocial outcomes on the Sydney Psychosocial Reintegration Scale-2 (r = -0.38--0.69) Conclusions: This study provides preliminary findings of good internal consistency and convergent and predictive validity of a social skills questionnaire adapted to be appropriate for individuals with TBI. Further assessment of psychometric properties such as test-re-test reliability and factor structure is warranted.
描述一种新的测量工具——创伤性脑损伤社交技能问卷(SSQ-TBI)的信度和效度。
51名重度创伤性脑损伤成人完成了SSQ-TBI问卷。将得分与关于额叶介导行为的问卷的 informant 报告和自我报告以及社交认知和神经心理任务客观测量的表现进行比较,以提供同时效度、区分效度和预测效度的证据。
内部一致性极佳,α = 0.90。聚合效度良好,SSQ-TBI 的 informant 评分与神经精神科 Inventory 抑制不足分量表(r = 0.50 - 0.63)、当前行为量表(r = 0.39 - 0.48)和额叶系统行为量表(r = 0.60 - 0.83)显著相关。然而,未发现与社交技能客观测量或抑制不足的神经心理任务有相关性。与悉尼心理社会重新融入量表-2上的现实世界心理社会结果有显著关系(r = -0.38 - -0.69)结论:本研究提供了初步结果,表明一种适用于创伤性脑损伤个体的社交技能问卷具有良好的内部一致性、聚合效度和预测效度。有必要进一步评估心理测量特性,如重测信度和因子结构。
