This study provides independent examination of the validity of the Barkley Deficits of Executive Functioning Scale-Children and Adolescents (BDEFS-CA) in a sample of children diagnosed with ADHD ( = 50) and typically developing controls ( = 50). Parents of participants completed the BDEFS-CA and the Conners 3 rating scales. Validity of BDEFS-CA was examined using a confirmatory factor analysis, correlational analyses with Conners 3 ratings, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of diagnostic accuracy. Findings support the construct, concurrent, and discriminant validity of the BDEFS-CA in a mixed sample. Findings provide independent examination of the validity of the BDEFS-CA as a measure of executive dysfunction and a screening tool for ADHD.
本研究在患有 ADHD 的儿童（n=50）和典型发育对照组（n=50）样本中，对 Barkley 执行功能缺陷量表-儿童版（BDEFS-CA）的有效性进行了独立检验。参与者的父母完成了 BDEFS-CA 和 Conners 3 评定量表。通过验证性因素分析、与 Conners 3 评定的相关分析以及诊断准确性的受试者工作特征（ROC）曲线分析，考察了 BDEFS-CA 的有效性。研究结果支持 BDEFS-CA 在混合样本中的结构、同时和判别有效性。研究结果为 BDEFS-CA 作为执行功能障碍的测量工具和 ADHD 的筛查工具的有效性提供了独立的检验。
