The Emotion Dysregulation Inventory (EDI) was designed and validated to quantify emotion dysregulation (ED) in school-age children, with a particular emphasis on capturing ED in youth with ASD. We saw a need to adapt the EDI for use in young children (ages 2-5) given early childhood is a formative time for emotion regulation development. The present study discusses the adaptation process for the EDI-Young Child (EDI-YC), including item refinement/generation and cognitive interviews (N = 10 with ASD), consistent with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) methodology. The item bank was piloted in a sample of 2-year-olds with and without ASD (N = 31), which provided initial support for the EDI-YC as a valid and reliable measure.
情绪失调量表(EDI)旨在量化学龄儿童的情绪失调(ED),特别强调捕捉 ASD 青少年的 ED。鉴于幼儿期是情绪调节发展的形成时期,我们认为有必要针对幼儿(2-5 岁)改编 EDI。本研究讨论了 EDI-幼儿版(EDI-YC)的改编过程,包括项目细化/生成和认知访谈(N=10 名 ASD 儿童),符合患者报告的结果测量信息系统(PROMIS®)方法。项目库在 ASD 儿童和非 ASD 儿童(N=31)的 2 岁儿童样本中进行了试点,为 EDI-YC 作为有效且可靠的测量工具提供了初步支持。
