The Apathy Evaluation Scale (AES) is a tool utilized with individuals with brain injury, neurocognitive disorders, and other mixed populations to quantify and characterize apathy in adults. The scale "treats apathy as a psychological dimension defined by simultaneous deficits in the overt behavioral, cognitive, and emotional concomitants of goal-directed behavior." It has three versions: self-rated (AES-S), clinician-rated (AES-C), and informant-rated (AES-I). Using factor analysis, Marin and colleagues identified three factors for the scale, including general apathy, disinterest or amotivation, and lack of concern. The psychometric properties of the AES have been examined in various clinical cohorts, including individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), acquired brain injury, multiple sclerosis, severe mental illness, and cognitively healthy middle-aged cohort who are at risk for AD. The AES is a useful, reliable, and valid instrument to quantify and measure severity of apathy symptoms in adults. It is important to note that the AES-C and AES-S were able to discriminate apathy from depression and anxiety better than the AES-I did. It has been translated into Japanese, Portuguese, German, and Turkish. As a neuropsychiatric symptom, apathy should be measured in examining problems of relevance to psychology, psychiatry, and neurology, which may aid in understanding motivation, prognosis, and differential diagnosis.

冷漠评估量表的临床效用和心理测量特性。

冷漠评估量表 (AES) 是一种与脑损伤、神经认知障碍和其他混合人群一起使用的工具，用于量化和表征成年人的冷漠。该量表“将冷漠视为一种心理维度，定义为目标导向行为的明显行为、认知和情感伴随的同时缺陷。” 它有三个版本：自我评价（AES-S）、临床医生评价（AES-C）和线人评价（AES-I）。使用因子分析，Marin 及其同事确定了量表的三个因素，包括普遍冷漠、不感兴趣或没有动力，以及缺乏关注。AES 的心理测量特性已在各种临床队列中进行了检查，包括患有阿尔茨海默病 (AD)、创伤性脑损伤 (TBI)、获得性脑损伤、多发性硬化症、严重的精神疾病，以及有患 AD 风险的认知健康的中年人群。AES 是一种有用、可靠且有效的工具，可用于量化和测量成人冷漠症状的严重程度。值得注意的是，AES-C 和 AES-S 能够比 AES-I 更好地区分冷漠与抑郁和焦虑。它已被翻译成日语、葡萄牙语、德语和土耳其语。作为一种神经精神症状，应在检查与心理学、精神病学和神经病学相关的问题时测量冷漠，这可能有助于理解动机、预后和鉴别诊断。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。量化和衡量成人冷漠症状严重程度的有效工具。值得注意的是，AES-C 和 AES-S 能够比 AES-I 更好地区分冷漠与抑郁和焦虑。它已被翻译成日语、葡萄牙语、德语和土耳其语。作为一种神经精神症状，应在检查与心理学、精神病学和神经病学相关的问题时测量冷漠，这可能有助于理解动机、预后和鉴别诊断。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。量化和衡量成人冷漠症状严重程度的有效工具。值得注意的是，AES-C 和 AES-S 能够比 AES-I 更好地区分冷漠与抑郁和焦虑。它已被翻译成日语、葡萄牙语、德语和土耳其语。作为一种神经精神症状，应在检查与心理学、精神病学和神经病学相关的问题时测量冷漠，这可能有助于理解动机、预后和鉴别诊断。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。应该在检查与心理学、精神病学和神经病学相关的问题时衡量冷漠，这可能有助于理解动机、预后和鉴别诊断。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。应该在检查与心理学、精神病学和神经病学相关的问题时衡量冷漠，这可能有助于理解动机、预后和鉴别诊断。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
