Intellectual disability (ID) is often accompanied by more significant delays in emotional development than in cognitive development. Diagnostic assessment can provide insight into emotional functioning. However, few standardized assessment instruments are available.
Examine the reliability and validity of the Scale of Emotional Development-Short (SED-S) in children with ID.
This methodological instrument validation study was conducted in the Netherlands and Switzerland with children (N = 118) older than 3 and younger than 18 years with ID ranging from profound to mild. Measures included: demographic and medical data, SED-S, and the Vineland. Coherence and reliability of the SED-S were determined using Cronbach's alpha, and validity was examined using Goodman and Kruskal's γ, Kruskal-Wallis H, and Mann-Whitney U tests.
The reliability of the SED-S was high, the convergent validity was good, and divergent validity was indicated in relation to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), visual and/or auditory impairment, and adaptive functioning.
Research is needed to better understand the implications of ASD and visual and/or auditory impairment on emotional development and their association with (normal) intelligence. Children with ID may also benefit from (more) detailed guidelines for imbalanced profiles on the SED-S.
智力障碍(ID)通常伴随着比认知发展更明显的情绪发展延迟。诊断评估可以深入了解情绪功能。然而,可用的标准化评估工具很少。
检验情绪发展量表-短卷(SED-S)在智力障碍儿童中的信度和效度。
这是一项在荷兰和瑞士进行的方法学工具验证研究,涉及年龄在 3 岁至 18 岁之间、从重度到轻度智力障碍的儿童(N=118)。测量包括:人口统计学和医疗数据、SED-S 和 Vineland。使用 Cronbach's alpha 确定 SED-S 的一致性和可靠性,使用 Goodman 和 Kruskal 的 γ、Kruskal-Wallis H 和 Mann-Whitney U 检验检验效度。
SED-S 的信度较高,与自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)、视觉和/或听觉障碍以及适应功能相关的会聚效度良好,而发散效度则有所体现。
需要进一步研究以更好地理解 ASD 和视觉和/或听觉障碍对情绪发展的影响及其与(正常)智力的关系。有 ID 的儿童也可能受益于 SED-S 不平衡模式的更详细指导方针。
