Few studies have examined the psychometric properties of the Social Aptitudes Scale (SAS). The study aims of the current paper were to examine the internal consistency and the validity of the Norwegian SAS.
Parents of children from a clinical neuropediatric sample (N = 257) and from a clinical sample from child and adolescent's mental health services (N = 804) filled in the SAS.
Internal consistency for the SAS were good in both samples and correlations between the SAS and different scales were in the expected directions. The results from the Confirmatory Factor Analyses indicated poor model fit.
Future validity studies should investigate whether SAS is suitable as a screening instrument for detecting autism spectrum disorder.
很少有研究检查社会能力量表（SAS）的心理测量特性。本研究旨在检查挪威 SAS 的内部一致性和有效性。
临床神经儿科样本（N=257）和儿童及青少年心理健康服务临床样本（N=804）的儿童父母填写了 SAS。
两个样本中 SAS 的内部一致性都很好，SAS 与不同量表之间的相关性均在预期方向上。验证性因素分析的结果表明模型拟合不佳。
未来的有效性研究应探讨 SAS 是否适合作为检测自闭症谱系障碍的筛查工具。
