The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of a new self-rating scale to measure children's pubertal status without pictorial representations or interviews. The scale is an adaptation of an interview-based puberty-rating scale by Petersen, and included scores for each of five items rating physical development, an overall maturation measure, and a categorical maturation score designed to be similar to Tanner staging categories. Each measure was obtained from independent ratings by students and parents, and a 3-point categorical scale was also obtained from teachers. Subjects included 698 5th- and 6th-grade students (323 boys and 375 girls) from 61 schools and their parents and teachers. Fifth-grade students rated themselves and were rated by parents as less mature than 6th graders; 6th-grade girls were consistently rated more mature than boys of the same age. Significant correlations were found between parents and students for all of the measures for 6th-graders and 5th-grade girls and several measures for 5th-grade boys. This new scale is a useful tool for assessing pubertal status in settings that require noninvasive measures.
本研究的目的是评估一种新的自评量表的信度和效度，该量表用于在无图片展示或访谈的情况下测量儿童的青春期发育状况。该量表改编自彼得森基于访谈的青春期发育评定量表，包括五项身体发育评定项目的得分、一项整体成熟度测量以及一个旨在与坦纳分期类别相似的分类成熟度得分。每项测量均来自学生和家长的独立评定，同时还从教师那里获得了一个3分制的分类量表。研究对象包括来自61所学校的698名五、六年级学生（323名男生和375名女生）及其家长和教师。五年级学生自评以及家长对其的评定结果显示，他们比六年级学生成熟度低；六年级女生的成熟度评定结果始终高于同龄男生。在六年级学生和五年级女生的所有测量项目以及五年级男生的几个测量项目中，家长和学生的评定结果之间存在显著相关性。这种新量表是在需要非侵入性测量的情况下评估青春期发育状况的有用工具。
