To examine the psychometric properties of the Conners 3 ADHD Index (Conners 3 AI) and the Conners Early Children Global Index (Conners ECGI) parents' form (PF) and teachers' form (TF) in Spanish schoolers. Two-phase cross-sectional study. In the first phase, information was gathered from teachers ( 1,796) and parents ( = 882) of 4-5 and 10-11 year-old children. In the second phase ( = 196), children at risk of ADHD and controls were individually assessed. The results confirmed the two-factor structure of the Conners 3 ADHD Index, which contains hyperactive-impulsive and inattentive symptoms, and the two-factor structure of the Conners ECGI PF, consisting of emotional lability and restless-impulsive symptoms. In contrast with the original version, the Conners ECGI TF presented an additional inattentive factor. Moderate-to-high rates of evidence of convergent validity with Child Behavior Checklist and Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders & Schizophrenia, and evidence of external validity (academic achievement) were found. Scores were significantly higher in boys than in girls, for both indexes. Raw scores corresponding to clinical scores were higher than the original version. The Conners indexes may be considered reliable and valid instruments for detecting ADHD symptoms in Spanish populations.
为检验康纳斯3注意力缺陷多动障碍指数（Conners 3 AI）以及康纳斯幼儿综合指数（Conners ECGI）家长版（PF）和教师版（TF）在西班牙学龄儿童中的心理测量特性。两阶段横断面研究。在第一阶段，收集了4至5岁以及10至11岁儿童的教师（n = 1796）和家长（n = 882）的信息。在第二阶段（n = 196），对有注意力缺陷多动障碍风险的儿童和对照组儿童进行了个体评估。结果证实了康纳斯3 ADHD指数的双因素结构，该结构包含多动冲动和注意力不集中症状，以及康纳斯ECGI PF的双因素结构，由情绪不稳定和多动冲动症状组成。与原始版本不同，康纳斯ECGI TF呈现出一个额外的注意力不集中因素。发现与儿童行为检查表以及情感障碍和精神分裂症儿童时间表的收敛效度证据为中到高，并且有外部效度（学业成绩）的证据。两个指数的得分在男孩中均显著高于女孩。对应临床分数的原始分数高于原始版本。康纳斯指数可被视为检测西班牙人群中注意力缺陷多动障碍症状的可靠且有效的工具。
