This study examined psychometric characteristics of the Diagnostic Analysis of Nonverbal Accuracy-Second Edition (DANVA-2) in 121 children, ages 6 to 13 years, with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD). Internal consistency for adult and child faces subtests were .70 and .75, respectively. Immediate test-retest reliability in the total sample (N = 121) ranged from .78 to .84. Reliability for two subsamples for 5- (n = 21) and 12-week (n = 21) intervals ranged from .75 to .90 and from .43 to .68, respectively. DANVA-2 scores strongly converged with two measures of emotion recognition but were unrelated to parent ratings of social functioning and ASD symptoms. Significant correlations (small to medium) were found between DANVA-2 scores and child age, IQ, and language ability.
本研究考察了高功能自闭症谱系障碍(HFASD)儿童(6 至 13 岁)121 名的诊断性非言语准确性分析第二版(DANVA-2)的心理计量学特征。成人和儿童面孔子测验的内部一致性分别为.70 和.75。在总样本(N=121)中,即时测试重测信度范围为.78 至.84。对于 5 周(n=21)和 12 周(n=21)间隔的两个子样本的可靠性范围分别为.75 至.90 和.43 至.68。DANVA-2 分数与两种情绪识别测量方法高度一致,但与父母对社交功能和 ASD 症状的评分无关。在 DANVA-2 分数与儿童年龄、智商和语言能力之间发现了显著的相关关系(小到中等)。
