The validity of joint attention assessment in school-aged children with ASD is unclear (Lord, Jones, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry 53(5):490-509, 2012). This study examined the feasibility and validity of a parent-report measure of joint attention related behaviors in verbal children and adolescents with ASD. Fifty-two children with ASD and 34 controls were assessed with the Childhood Joint Attention Rating Scale (C-JARS). The C-JARS exhibited internally consistency, α = 0.88, and one factor explained 49% of the scale variance. Factor scores correctly identified between 88 and 94% of the children with ASD and 62-82% of controls. These scores were correlated with the ADOS-2, but not other parent-report symptom measures. The C-JARS appears to assess a unique dimension of the social-phenotype of children with ASD.
针对患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的学龄儿童,联合注意力评估的有效性尚不清楚(洛德、琼斯,《儿童心理学与精神病学杂志》53(5):490 - 509,2012年)。本研究考察了一项针对患有ASD的言语儿童及青少年的联合注意力相关行为的家长报告测量方法的可行性和有效性。使用儿童联合注意力评定量表(C-JARS)对52名患有ASD的儿童和34名对照组儿童进行了评估。C-JARS显示出内部一致性,α = 0.88,且一个因子解释了量表方差的49%。因子得分正确识别出88%至94%的患有ASD的儿童以及62%至82%的对照组儿童。这些得分与《自闭症诊断观察量表第二版》(ADOS-2)相关,但与其他家长报告的症状测量指标无关。C-JARS似乎评估了患有ASD的儿童社会表型的一个独特维度。
