The Social Responsiveness Scale [SRS; Constantino & Gruber, 2005] is a widely-used measure of autism symptoms, but its application for the study of adults with autism spectrum disorders has not been fully evaluated. Using a factor structure consistent with The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed., DSM-V) criteria for autism spectrum disorder [Frazier et al., 2014], the primary purpose of the current study was to establish the validity of the SRS with a sample of adults with autism spectrum disorder (N = 237). Correlational analyses indicated that SRS factors were highly associated with autism symptoms and behavioral measures, indicating concurrent and predictive validity. Multiple regression results demonstrated that SRS factors were differentially related to measures specific to social or behavioral domains, indicating convergent and discriminant validity. Implications for future research are discussed. Autism Res 2017, 10: 1663-1671. © 2017 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
社会反应量表 [SRS; Constantino & Gruber, 2005] 是一种广泛用于衡量自闭症症状的工具,但它在自闭症谱系障碍成人研究中的应用尚未得到充分评估。本研究采用与《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》(第五版,DSM-V)自闭症谱系障碍标准一致的因子结构 [Frazier 等人,2014],主要目的是在自闭症谱系障碍成人样本(N=237)中确定 SRS 的有效性。相关分析表明,SRS 因子与自闭症症状和行为测量高度相关,表明具有同时性和预测性有效性。多元回归结果表明,SRS 因子与特定于社会或行为领域的测量结果存在差异相关,表明具有收敛性和区分性有效性。讨论了对未来研究的影响。自闭症研究 2017, 10: 1663-1671. © 2017 国际自闭症研究协会,威利期刊,公司。
