The d2-R test is a cancellation test developed in Germany to measure concentration and attention. This study examined the validity of the d2-R test for Japanese adolescents in comparison with German standardized data.
Japanese junior high school students (n = 121; 61 girls, 60 boys) participated in this study. The students' performance scores in the d2-R test were compared with their daily attentiveness and hyperactivity/impulsiveness assessments conducted by the teachers. The assessments were evaluated using the attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder rating scale, fourth edition (ADHD-RS)-IV. The comparison with German counterparts was also made.
Students who were rated as less attentive and more hyperactive/impulsive performed more slowly and committed more errors in the d2-R test. Although there were no sex differences in any of the d2-R parameters, male students were rated higher than female students in all of the ADHD-RS-IV scores. Japanese adolescents outscored German counterparts on speed, concentration, and carefulness.
The concurrent validity of the d2-R test is confirmed. It is an appropriate index to measure the sustained and focused attention of Japanese adolescents. The present research merits attention as the first investigation of the d2-R test conducted for Japanese adolescents.
d2-R测试是德国开发的一种用于测量注意力和专注力的划消测试。本研究将d2-R测试与德国标准化数据进行比较，检验其在日本青少年中的有效性。
日本初中生（n = 121；61名女生，60名男生）参与了本研究。将学生在d2-R测试中的表现得分与教师对他们日常注意力和多动/冲动行为的评估进行比较。使用注意力缺陷多动障碍评定量表第四版（ADHD-RS-IV）对评估进行评价。还与德国同龄人进行了比较。
在d2-R测试中，被评为注意力不集中且多动/冲动程度较高的学生完成速度较慢，错误较多。虽然d2-R测试的任何参数都不存在性别差异，但在所有ADHD-RS-IV得分中，男生的得分高于女生。日本青少年在速度、注意力集中程度和细心程度方面的得分高于德国同龄人。
d2-R测试的同时效度得到了证实。它是衡量日本青少年持续和集中注意力的一个合适指标。本研究作为对日本青少年进行的首次d2-R测试调查，值得关注。
