We assessed the appropriateness of the bifactor model for a Mexican ADHD symptom questionnaire (BMQ-ADHD) applied to parents and teachers of elementary school children. With a sample of 765 reports of children's behavior (48.7% with ADHD A1 criteria, 42.6% girls, mean age 8.5 years [± 1.6 sd]), we examined construct validity, measurement invariance, differences for gender and school level, and the appropriateness of using summed scores. The BMQ-ADHD questionnaire was characterized by good construct validity for the bifactor model for parents' and teachers' reports. For both corpora, we detected invariance for gender and school level. There were differences in ADHD symptoms by gender, but not by school year. The summed scores may represent the factors accurately for females but may present difficulty for males in the parents' questionnaires. The present study revealed good BMQ-ADHD psychometric properties for a unidimensional-hierarchical ADHD scale segregated by gender for parents' and teachers' reports.
我们评估了双因素模型应用于墨西哥注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)症状问卷(BMQ-ADHD)时,对小学儿童家长和教师的适用性。通过对765份儿童行为报告的样本(48.7%符合ADHD A1标准,42.6%为女孩,平均年龄8.5岁[±1.6标准差]),我们检验了结构效度、测量不变性、性别和学校水平差异以及使用总分的适宜性。BMQ-ADHD问卷的特点是,对于家长和教师报告的双因素模型具有良好的结构效度。对于这两个数据集,我们检测到了性别和学校水平的不变性。ADHD症状存在性别差异,但不存在学年差异。总分可能准确代表了女性的因素,但在家长问卷中,男性可能存在困难。本研究揭示了BMQ-ADHD在家长和教师报告中按性别划分的单维分层ADHD量表具有良好的心理测量特性。
