Irritability is a transdiagnostic symptom that affects quality of life during the lifespan of individuals. The objective of the present research was to validate two assessment tools, namely the Affective Reactivity Index (ARI) and the Born-Steiner Irritability Scale (BSIS). We investigated internal consistency as measured with Cronbach's alpha, test-retest with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and convergent validity confronting ARI and BSIS scores with the strength and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ). Our results revealed ARI good internal consistency with a Cronbach's α of 0.79 for adolescent and 0.78 for adults. The BSIS also demonstrated good internal consistency for both samples with Cronbach's α = 0.87. Test-retest analysis showed excellent values for both tools. Convergent validity showed positive and significant correlation with SDW, albeit weak for some sub-scales. In conclusion, we found ARI and BSIS to be good tools for measuring irritability in adolescents and adults, and now, Italian healthcare professionals can use it with more confidence.
易激惹是一种跨诊断症状，会影响个体一生中的生活质量。本研究的目的是验证两种评估工具，即情感反应指数（ARI）和伯恩-施泰纳易激惹量表（BSIS）。我们用克朗巴赫 α系数来衡量内部一致性，用 ICC 来衡量重测信度，并将 ARI 和 BSIS 分数与长处和困难问卷（SDQ）进行对比，以验证其聚合效度。我们的研究结果显示，ARI 具有良好的内部一致性，青少年和成年人的克朗巴赫 α系数分别为 0.79 和 0.78。BSIS 对于两个样本也具有良好的内部一致性，克朗巴赫 α值为 0.87。重测分析显示两种工具都具有优异的信度。聚合效度显示与 SDW 呈正相关且显著，尽管某些子量表的相关性较弱。综上所述，我们发现 ARI 和 BSIS 是评估青少年和成年人易激惹的有效工具，现在，意大利的医疗保健专业人员可以更有信心地使用这些工具。
