The Knowledge of Effective Parenting Test (KEPT) is a measure of parent management skills that was developed as an outcome measure for clinical trials of psychosocial treatments for disruptive behavior disorders. In the current study, we developed a computer adaptive test (CAT; KEPT-CAT) prototype and compared it to the full item bank (21 items; KEPT-Full) and to a brief static version (10 items; KEPT-Brief) using simulations from a large (N = 1,570) nationally representative dataset. Results showed that the KEPT-CAT prototype (median = 8 items) was slightly more efficient than the KEPT-Brief and had a significantly higher (p < .001) correlation with scores from the full item bank (r = .97) than the KEPT-Brief (r = .94). The KEPT-CAT prototype has additional advantages over the static KEPT-Brief, including the potential selection of different items from one administration to the next. This flexibility can reduce practice effects that might result from repeated administration of the same fixed items. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

用于了解父母管理技能的计算机自适应测试 (CAT)：原型开发和初步心理测量学。

有效育儿知识测试 (KEPT) 是一种衡量父母管理技能的方法，它是作为破坏性行为障碍的心理社会治疗临床试验的结果衡量标准而开发的。在当前的研究中，我们开发了一个计算机自适应测试（CAT；KEPT-CAT）原型，并将其与完整的项目库（21 个项目；KEPT-Full）和一个简短的静态版本（10 个项目；KEPT-Brief）进行比较，使用来自大型（N = 1,570）全国代表性数据集的模拟。结果表明，KEPT-CAT 原型（中位数 = 8 个项目）比 KEPT-Brief 更有效，并且与完整项目库（r = .97）的分数的相关性显着更高（p < .001）。 KEPT-Brief (r = .94)。与静态 KEPT-Brief 相比，KEPT-CAT 原型具有额外的优势，包括从一个主管部门到下一个主管部门对不同项目的潜在选择。这种灵活性可以减少重复管理相同固定项目可能导致的练习效果。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
