Although there are several ratings to assess Executive Functions (EF) in adults, most of these are lengthy and comprise items which describe extreme or pathologic behaviors (e.g., ADHD symptoms), proving inadequate for the assessment of EF in general population. The (ADEXI) seeks to assess EF taking these limitations into account. The aims of the present study were to analyze the factor structure, the convergent and divergent validity, and the reliability of a Spanish adaptation of the ADEXI in a non-clinical population. The Spanish adaptation of the ADEXI, the (IRI), the (CFS), and an adaptation of the (AS) were administered to 369 healthy adults between 18 and 60-years-old. To analyze the factor structure of the ADEXI, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used. In addition, the relationship between the inventory and the IRI, the CFS and the AS was analyzed. Finally, Cronbach's index was calculated. CFA showed that the two-factor model including (1) Working memory and (2) Inhibition best fit the data. Significant correlations were found between the ADEXI scores and the CFS, the IRI and the AS, providing additional evidence of construct validity. The internal consistency of the ADEXI was high ( = 0.87). Taken together, our results indicate that the Spanish adaptation of the ADEXI shows satisfactory psychometric properties and would be a valid and reliable measure to assess EF in non-clinical populations both for clinical and research purposes.
虽然有几种评估成人执行功能(EF)的量表,但其中大多数都冗长且包含描述极端或病理行为的项目(例如 ADHD 症状),对于一般人群的 EF 评估来说并不充分。(ADEXI)旨在考虑到这些局限性来评估 EF。本研究的目的是分析西班牙版 ADEXI 在非临床人群中的因子结构、收敛和发散效度以及信度。对 369 名年龄在 18 至 60 岁之间的健康成年人进行了西班牙版 ADEXI、(IRI)、(CFS)和(AS)的改编版测试。为了分析 ADEXI 的因子结构,使用验证性因子分析(CFA)。此外,还分析了库存与 IRI、CFS 和 AS 之间的关系。最后,计算了 Cronbach 的 指数。CFA 表明,包括(1)工作记忆和(2)抑制在内的两因素模型最能拟合数据。ADEXI 评分与 CFS、IRI 和 AS 之间存在显著相关性,为结构效度提供了额外证据。ADEXI 的内部一致性很高(=0.87)。综上所述,我们的研究结果表明,西班牙版 ADEXI 具有令人满意的心理测量学特性,是一种有效的、可靠的测量工具,可用于临床和研究目的评估非临床人群的 EF。
