Research on selective mutism (SM) has been limited by the absence of standardised, psychometrically sound and cross-culturally valid assessment measures. Our aim is to present the results of a study of the factor structure and the reliability and concurrent validity of the scores of the Selective Mutism Questionnaire (SMQ), translated and adapted into Spanish. The SMQ contains 17 items about children's difficulty in speaking adequately in the family, school and social environment (out-of-school and out-of-family), each of which is answered according to a Likert scale with four response alternatives on speech frequency.
The study involved 110 pairs of parents of children diagnosed with SM whose ages ranged from 3 to 10 years.
The results show that the data from the Spanish sample fit the factorial model obtained by Bergman et al., and that data on its reliability and validity are robust and confirm that it as a good instrument for assessing SM in Spanish-speaking children.
Therefore, we can affirm that the SMQ is a good instrument to assess SM in Spanish-speaking children.
选择性缄默症（SM）的研究一直受到缺乏标准化、心理测量学上可靠且跨文化有效的评估方法的限制。我们的目的是呈现一项关于选择性缄默症问卷（SMQ）分数的因子结构、信度和同时效度的研究结果，该问卷已被翻译并改编成西班牙语。SMQ包含17个关于儿童在家庭、学校和社会环境（校外和家庭外）中难以充分言语表达的项目，每个项目根据言语频率的四级李克特量表进行回答。
该研究涉及110对被诊断为SM的儿童的父母，这些儿童年龄在3至10岁之间。
结果表明，西班牙样本的数据符合伯格曼等人获得的因子模型，其信度和效度数据可靠，并证实它是评估西班牙语儿童SM的良好工具。
因此，我们可以肯定，SMQ是评估西班牙语儿童SM的良好工具。
