Currently, there are no existing measures to screen for or diagnose Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder (SPCD). We conducted an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the Social Communication Disorder Screener (SCDS), a 14-item, parent-report measure based on the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for SPCD. This EFA examined the internal consistency and factor structure of the SCDS for a sample of 500 parents of children, ages 5-18 years, representative of the U.S. census. Results yielded a correlated three-factor solution with good internal consistency reliability. Findings supported the presence of three subscale as well as the derivation of a total composite score reflecting overall verbal and non-verbal communication and limitations across contexts. Clinical and research implications are discussed.
目前，尚无用于筛查或诊断社会（语用）交流障碍（SPCD）的现有措施。我们对《社会交流障碍筛查量表》（SCDS）进行了探索性因子分析（EFA），该量表是一个基于 DSM-5 诊断 SPCD 标准的 14 项家长报告测量工具。该 EFA 对美国人口普查代表性的 500 名 5-18 岁儿童的父母进行了 SCDS 的内部一致性和因子结构检验。结果得出了一个具有良好内部一致性的相关三因子解决方案。研究结果支持存在三个分量表，以及衍生出一个总综合分数，反映了整体语言和非语言交流以及在各种情况下的局限性。讨论了临床和研究意义。
