The young child's mental representations convey a wealth of information about his/her early moral and emotional construction of reality. The MacArthur Story Stem Battery (MSSB) is a unique, child-friendly tool for assessing socioemotional development in young children (3-6 years). The technique provides incomplete stories (stems), which are completed by the child using their own verbalizations and actions with doll figures. A sensitive examiner scaffolds appropriate boundaries for the task. The MSSB has demonstrated adequate psychometric properties and initial studies suggest the MSSB can tap important prosocial competencies as well as features indicative of psychopathology and distress. The MSSB has been translated and used in a number of countries across the world, in part due to the measure's clinical utility to quickly assess children at the level of representation. Current innovations reviewed emphasize the use of the MSSB for assessment in clinical and at-risk populations. A table summarizing key clinically relevant articles on the MSSB is referenced throughout the paper.
幼儿的心理表征传达了大量有关其早期对现实的道德和情感构建的信息。麦克阿瑟故事线索测验（MSSB）是一种独特的、适合儿童的工具，用于评估幼儿（3至6岁）的社会情感发展。该技术提供不完整的故事（线索），由儿童使用自己的言语和对玩偶的动作来完成。一位敏感的考官会为任务设定适当的界限。MSSB已显示出足够的心理测量特性，初步研究表明，MSSB能够挖掘重要的亲社会能力以及表明精神病理学和痛苦的特征。MSSB已在世界上许多国家进行翻译和使用，部分原因是该测量方法在表征层面快速评估儿童方面具有临床实用性。本文回顾的当前创新强调了MSSB在临床和高危人群评估中的应用。全文引用了一个总结MSSB关键临床相关文章的表格。
