OBJECTIVE(S): To examine the psychometric properties of the idiographic Goal-Based Outcome (GBO) tool for young people: test-retest stability, convergent validity, and sensitivity to an intervention.
This measure validation study used data from a randomized controlled trial of school-based humanistic counseling. We used multilevel analyses to assess test-retest stability, convergent validity of the GBO tool against nomothetic measures of mental wellbeing, and sensitivity to an intervention.
The GBO tool showed acceptable stability over a 6-24 week period; moderate convergent validity with nomothetic measures of mental well-being, self-esteem, and depression; and greater sensitivity to an intervention than a measure of psychological distress.
The GBO tool shows evidence of having acceptable psychometric properties and is suitable for monitoring change on individual goals. It may also have the capacity to function as a population-level indicator of outcomes in conjunction with the use of other measures of mental health and wellbeing.
研究特定目标为基础的结果（GBO）工具在年轻人中的心理测量学特性：重测信度、聚合效度以及对干预的敏感性。
本研究采用基于学校的人本主义咨询的随机对照试验的数据，对该测量工具的验证研究使用多水平分析评估了重测信度、GBO 工具与心理幸福感、自尊和抑郁等典型测量指标的聚合效度，以及对干预的敏感性。
GBO 工具在 6-24 周期间表现出可接受的稳定性；与心理幸福感、自尊和抑郁的典型测量指标具有中等的聚合效度；与心理困扰测量指标相比，对干预更敏感。
GBO 工具具有可接受的心理测量学特性，适合监测个体目标的变化。它也有可能与其他心理健康和幸福感测量指标一起使用，作为人群水平结局指标。
