The recently released National Institutes of Health Toolbox (NIHTB) batteries for neurological and behavioral function were designed to serve as standardized, common measures in clinical and epidemiological research. The current study aimed to examine constructs assessed by the self-report and parental proxy-report scales in the NIHTB Emotion Battery (NIHTB-EB) for Children by using factor analyses on data from the U.S. national normative sample of 2,916 English-speaking children. This battery contains 31 scales designed to assess both positive and negative aspects of social and emotional functioning that are considered developmentally relevant at each of three age ranges (3-7, 8-12, and 13-17 years). Results revealed four similar self-report factors for ages 8 to 12 years and 13 to 17 years. Proxy reports for ages 3 to 7 years revealed three factors, and for ages 8 to 12 years two factors. Based on the standardization sample data, age- and gender-corrected norms are presented for all NIHTB-EB individual scales and factor-based composites.
最近发布的美国国立卫生研究院工具包（NIHTB）神经和行为功能电池旨在成为临床和流行病学研究中的标准化通用指标。本研究旨在使用来自美国全国规范样本的 2916 名英语儿童的数据，通过因子分析来检验 NIHTB 情绪电池（NIHTB-EB）中自我报告和家长代理报告量表评估的结构。该电池包含 31 个量表，旨在评估社会和情感功能的积极和消极方面，这些方面在三个年龄段（3-7 岁、8-12 岁和 13-17 岁）都被认为具有发展相关性。结果表明，8 至 12 岁和 13 至 17 岁的自我报告有四个相似的因素。3 至 7 岁的代理报告有三个因素，8 至 12 岁的代理报告有两个因素。根据标准化样本数据，为所有 NIHTB-EB 个体量表和基于因素的综合量表提供了年龄和性别校正的常模。
