Sturmey's factor analysis of the Reiss Screen for Maladaptive Behavior is based upon several significant errors, some of which are of general interest because misuse of factor analysis is common (Ford et al. 1986). In this commentary, the author discusses; the concept of factor robustness; appropriate samples for evaluating the factor structure of a dual diagnosis instrument, the differences between exploratory and confirmatory analyses; and how the Reiss Screen was intended to fulfill its purpose. In the Sturmey study, the Reiss Screen may have actually performed well under adverse conditions. The criteria for conducting valid factor analytic studies of dual diagnosis instruments are identified in order to encourage future research evaluating the Reiss Screen and other instruments.
斯特梅对《适应不良行为赖斯筛查量表》的因素分析存在若干重大错误,其中一些错误因因素分析的误用很常见而具有普遍意义(福特等人,1986年)。在这篇评论中,作者讨论了因素稳健性的概念;评估双重诊断工具因素结构的合适样本、探索性分析与验证性分析之间的差异;以及赖斯筛查量表旨在如何实现其目的。在斯特梅的研究中,赖斯筛查量表在不利条件下可能实际上表现良好。确定了对双重诊断工具进行有效因素分析研究的标准,以鼓励未来对赖斯筛查量表和其他工具进行评估的研究。
