The Ages and Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional, Second Edition (ASQ) is a parental-report tool designed to assess the social-emotional development of young children. Its adaptation and validation in diverse cultural contexts are vital for its effective application. This study aimed to culturally adapt, validate, and standardize the ASQ for Iranian children. A cross-sectional study involving a random sample of Iranian children aged 1-66 months was conducted. Validity and cultural adaptation were assessed through expert panel evaluations, while nationwide sampling ensured reliability and validity. Statistical analyses included Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency and the determination of score ranges defining monitoring zones and cut-off points. Face and content validity, along with cultural relevance, were confirmed by 51 experts. Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.655 to 0.789, indicating acceptable reliability across age groups. The prevalence of social-emotional developmental delays (scores above the cut-off) was 22.8 %, with 7 % of children falling within the monitoring zone. The highest rate of delays was in the 12-month age group (28.39 %), while the lowest was in the 2-month group (17.12 %). The culturally adapted Persian ASQ provides a valuable tool for assessing social-emotional development in Iranian children.
《年龄与阶段问卷：社会情感，第二版》（ASQ）是一种家长报告工具，旨在评估幼儿的社会情感发展。其在不同文化背景下的改编和验证对于其有效应用至关重要。本研究旨在对ASQ进行文化改编、验证并使其标准化，以适用于伊朗儿童。开展了一项横断面研究，对1至66个月的伊朗儿童随机抽样。通过专家小组评估来评估有效性和文化适应性，同时全国范围内的抽样确保了可靠性和有效性。统计分析包括用于内部一致性的克朗巴哈系数以及确定定义监测区域和临界点的分数范围。51位专家确认了表面效度、内容效度以及文化相关性。克朗巴哈系数在0.655至0.789之间，表明各年龄组的可靠性均可接受。社会情感发育迟缓（得分高于临界点）的患病率为22.8%，7%的儿童处于监测区域内。延迟率最高的是12个月龄组（28.39%），最低的是2个月龄组（17.12%）。经过文化改编的波斯语ASQ为评估伊朗儿童的社会情感发展提供了一个有价值的工具。
