Different from psychopathological assessment, personality assessment considers an individual's entire range of functioning. The evaluation of personality during childhood is more complex than assessment in other life phases, but crucial for understanding the risk and protective factors for personality pathology. This paper has two main goals. The first goal is to describe the CPAP-Q, including its development and features. The CPAP-Q is a 200-item clinician-report tool that can be used by therapists of any orientation. The second goal is to provide additional preliminary data on the validity of the CPAP-Q.
A sample of 257 clinicians completed the CPAP-Q to assess the personality features of 257 children (aged 4-11 years) who had been in their care for 2-12 months. Clinicians also completed a clinical questionnaire to provide information on themselves, their child patients, and their patients' families; and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) to evaluate patients' behavioral problems and social competencies.
The CPAP-Q seems to represent a useful assessment tool with good concurrent validity. Correlations between the CPAP-Q and the CBCL revealed strong convergent and divergent validity. Furthermore, the associations between personality prototypes and syndromic scales concurred with the clinical literature.
The CPAP-Q is a new tool for assessing child personality, from a clinical perspective. It is effective at identifying personality styles, even during childhood.
与心理病理学评估不同，人格评估考虑到个体的整体功能范围。在儿童时期评估人格比在其他生命阶段评估更为复杂，但对于理解人格病理学的风险和保护因素至关重要。本文有两个主要目标。第一个目标是描述 CPAP-Q，包括其发展和特点。CPAP-Q 是一种 200 项的临床医生报告工具，任何取向的治疗师都可以使用。第二个目标是提供 CPAP-Q 有效性的额外初步数据。
一组 257 名临床医生完成了 CPAP-Q，以评估 257 名儿童（年龄 4-11 岁）的人格特征，这些儿童在他们的照顾下已经有 2-12 个月。临床医生还完成了一份临床问卷，提供有关他们自己、他们的儿童患者及其患者家庭的信息；以及儿童行为检查表（CBCL），以评估患者的行为问题和社会能力。
CPAP-Q 似乎是一种有用的评估工具，具有良好的同时效度。CPAP-Q 与 CBCL 之间的相关性显示出较强的收敛和发散效度。此外，人格原型和综合征量表之间的关联与临床文献一致。
CPAP-Q 是一种从临床角度评估儿童人格的新工具。它能够有效地识别人格风格，即使在儿童时期也是如此。
