The Brief Adjustment Scale-6 (BASE-6) was recently developed for measuring general psychological functioning within measurement-based care (MBC). The present study further evaluated psychometric properties, generalizability to race/ethnic populations, and clinical utility of the BASE-6. Three adult samples, Sample 1: online community participants ( 394); Sample 2: college students ( = 249); Sample 3: outpatient clinic clients ( = 80), were included. The results demonstrated a high level of internal consistency, good test-retest reliability, and convergent validity in all samples. The unidimensional structure of BASE-6 was confirmed and factorial invariance was established across groups. Finally, the BASE-6 captured change over time by demonstrating a large effect size of pre-post treatment changes and significant linear change in multilevel growth modeling. These results support the BASE-6 as a reliable and valid measure regardless of race/ethnicity and can sensitively detect clinical change over the course of the treatment. Thus, the BASE-6 appears to accurately monitor overall psychological adjustment.
《基础调整量表-6（BASE-6）》最近被开发出来，用于在基于测量的护理（MBC）中测量一般心理功能。本研究进一步评估了 BASE-6 的心理测量特性、对种族/民族人群的普遍性和临床实用性。三个成人样本，样本 1：在线社区参与者（394 人）；样本 2：大学生（=249 人）；样本 3：门诊诊所客户（=80 人）被纳入研究。结果表明，在所有样本中，BASE-6 具有较高的内部一致性、良好的重测信度和收敛效度。BASE-6 的单维结构得到了确认，并且在群体之间建立了因子不变性。最后，BASE-6 通过显示治疗前后变化的大效应量和多层次增长模型中显著的线性变化，捕捉到了随时间的变化。这些结果支持 BASE-6 是一种可靠和有效的测量方法，无论种族/民族如何，并且可以敏感地检测治疗过程中的临床变化。因此，BASE-6 似乎可以准确监测整体心理调整。
