The Scale of Emotional Development-Short (SED-S) is an instrument to assess the level of emotional development (ED) in people with intellectual and developmental disability. Index cases are developed as a didactic tool to standardize the application of the scale.
In a stepwise process, a European working group from six countries developed five index cases, one for each level of ED. All cases were first scored by 20 raters using the SED-S and then rephrased to reduce inter-rater variations (SD > 0.5).
All five index cases yielded overall ratings that matched the intended level of ED. Across the range of ED, Regulating Affect needed rephrasing most to ensure a distinct description within each level of ED.
The tri-lingual, cross-cultural evolution of five index cases contributes to a standardized application of the SED-S and can serve as training material to improve the inter-rater reliability of the SED-S across different cultures and languages.
情绪发展量表-短版（SED-S）是一种评估智力和发育障碍人群情绪发展（ED）水平的工具。指数病例被开发为一种教学工具，以规范量表的应用。
在逐步的过程中，来自六个国家的一个欧洲工作组开发了五个指数病例，每个 ED 水平一个。所有病例首先由 20 名评分者使用 SED-S 进行评分，然后重新措辞以减少评分者间的差异（SD>0.5）。
所有五个指数病例的总体评分都与预期的 ED 水平相匹配。在 ED 的整个范围内，调节情绪需要重新措辞，以确保在每个 ED 水平内有一个明确的描述。
五种指数病例的三语、跨文化演变有助于 SED-S 的标准化应用，并可以作为培训材料，提高 SED-S 在不同文化和语言背景下的评分者间信度。
