Social skills are dynamic developmental constructs typically measured using assessments developed via cross-sectional methods. The measurement model of derivatives (MMOD), a factor analytic approach targeting individual growth trajectories, was used to evaluate the longitudinal factor structure of the Social Skills Improvement System-Rating Scales (SSIS-RS) teacher form with a sample of 1320 first and second grade students (51.6% female, 54.8% white, 20.6% Black, 14.4% Hispanic). Although results provided support for three of the original SSIS-RS factors (Assertion, Empathy, Self-Control), there was some evidence that the other four original domains (Cooperation, Responsibility, Engagement, Communication) could be explained by two factors in this age range. Implications for using the SSIS-RS and the utility of the MMOD in developmental research are discussed.
社交技能是动态发展的概念,通常使用通过横断面方法开发的评估工具进行测量。衍生测量模型(MMOD)是一种针对个体成长轨迹的因素分析方法,用于评估社交技能提升系统评分量表(SSIS-RS)教师版的纵向因素结构,样本为1320名一、二年级学生(女生占51.6%,白人占54.8%,黑人占20.6%,西班牙裔占14.4%)。尽管结果支持了SSIS-RS最初的三个因素( Assertion,共情,自我控制),但有证据表明,在这个年龄范围内,其他四个原始领域(合作、责任、参与、沟通)可以由两个因素来解释。本文讨论了使用SSIS-RS的意义以及MMOD在发展研究中的效用。
