The Behavioral Assessment System for Children, 3rd edition (BASC-3) is a commonly used clinical assessment to evaluate a variety of behavioral and emotional concerns in children and adolescents. The focus of the current study is on the problematic interpretation of the F Index of the BASC-3 self-report measure for adolescents (SRP-A) suffering from depressive disorders. In this study, we used data from 214 patients in an adolescent partial hospitalization program within a psychiatric facility, all of whom were administered the BASC-3 SRP-A upon intake. Results suggest that the BASC-3 SRP-A F Index may confound an invalid response style of intentional overreporting with significant psychopathology in this specific psychiatric population. Our findings raise the question of similar confounding across psychiatric diagnoses and similar interpretation problems. We encourage further studies with independent samples of adolescents with a broad spectrum of diagnoses to address this question and offer a proposal if indeed there is evidence of a more generalized problem with the SRP-A F Index.

《儿童行为评估系统第三版》（BASC-3）是一种常用的临床评估工具，用于评估儿童和青少年的各种行为和情绪问题。本研究的重点是对患有抑郁症的青少年自我报告量表（SRP-A）的 BASC-3 F 指数进行有问题的解释。在这项研究中，我们使用了一家精神病院青少年部分住院项目中的 214 名患者的数据，所有患者在入组时都接受了 BASC-3 SRP-A 测试。结果表明，BASC-3 SRP-A F 指数可能会混淆特定精神科人群中具有显著精神病理学的有意过度报告的无效反应模式。我们的研究结果提出了一个问题，即在不同的精神科诊断中是否存在类似的混淆以及类似的解释问题。我们鼓励对具有广泛诊断范围的青少年进行独立样本的进一步研究，以解决这个问题，并在确实存在 SRP-A F 指数更普遍问题的情况下提出建议。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
