This study aimed to investigate the factor structure and the measurement invariance across gender of the BRIEF2 Parent Form in Portuguese typically developing children. Participants were 700 typically developing children ( = 352 girls and = 348 boys) aged 6-16 years. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test five competing factor models. Consistent with the BRIEF2 original dimensional structure, the three-factor model demonstrated the most adequate fit to the data. The measurement invariance of the three-factor model across gender was supported (configural, metric, and partial scalar invariance). Overall, the BRIEF2 Parent Form showed adequate psychometric properties, suggesting that it is a useful instrument to assess everyday executive functioning based on reports of behaviors observed by parents in healthy Portuguese children.
这项研究旨在探究 BRIEF2 父母式问卷在葡萄牙正常发育儿童群体中的因素结构和跨性别测量不变性。研究参与者为 700 名正常发育的儿童（=352 名女孩和=348 名男孩），年龄在 6 至 16 岁之间。验证性因子分析被用于检验五个竞争因素模型。与 BRIEF2 的原始维度结构一致，三因素模型最能适当地拟合数据。三因素模型在性别上的测量不变性得到支持（组态、度量和部分标度不变性）。总的来说，BRIEF2 父母式问卷表现出了良好的心理测量学特性，表明它是一种有用的工具，可以根据父母对健康的葡萄牙儿童行为的观察报告来评估日常执行功能。
