Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) is a dispositional tendency to react negatively to uncertainty. The Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale for Children (IUS-C) is designed to measure IU in children but there has been limited investigation into the psychometric properties of this scale. Using data from 227 preadolescent children and 204 parents, we examined (a) readability and whether any items were difficult to understand for children and parents, (b) factor structure, (c) test-retest reliability, and (d) the agreement between child and parent forms of the IUS-C. Results revealed that the reading age of the IUS-C may be too high for preadolescent children and that both children and parents found some items difficult to understand. Model fit with the full IUS-C was not adequate for either parent or child forms. For both forms, selecting items aligned with the IUS-12 led to adequate model fit. For both child-report and parent-report, a one-factor model was supported. Test-retest reliability of total score for all versions was high over a 2-week period (child form: ICC = .82 for 27 item and ICC = .73 for 12 items; parent form: ICC = .87 for 27 item and ICC = .86 for 12 item) but agreement between child and parent forms was consistently poor (r = .24 for 27 item and r = .29 for 12 item). Overall, the results suggest that IUS-C-12 is most appropriate for preadolescent children and their parents. The reading age remains slightly high for preadolescent children so it may be beneficial for future research to consider developing a child-report version with lower reading age.

评价青春期前儿童不确定性量表的不容忍度的心理计量学特性

不确定性的不宽容(IU)是对不确定性产生负面反应的倾向。儿童不确定度量表(IUS-C)旨在测量儿童的IU,但对该量表的心理计量学特性的研究有限。我们使用227名青春期前儿童和204名父母的数据,研究了(a)儿童和父母的可读性以及是否难以理解任何项目;(b)因素结构;(c)重测信度;以及(d) IUS-C的子代和父代形式。结果显示,IUS-C的阅读年龄可能对于青春期前的孩子来说过高,并且孩子和父母都发现一些难以理解的项目。完整的IUS-C的模型适合于父母或孩子的形式。对于这两种形式,选择与IUS-12对齐的物品会产生足够的模型拟合度。对于子报表和父报表,都支持一个因素模型。所有版本的总分的重测信度在2周内都很高(儿童形式:27个项目的ICC = .82,12个项目的ICC = .73;父形式:27个项目的ICC = .87和ICC = .86(代表12项),但子代和父母形式之间的一致性始终很差(r = .24(代表27项)和r = .29(代表12项))。总体而言,结果表明IUS-C-12最适合青春期前的儿童及其父母。青春期前儿童的阅读年龄仍然较高,因此考虑开发阅读年龄较低的儿童报告版本可能对将来的研究有益。支持单因素模型。所有版本的总分的重测信度在2周内都很高(儿童形式:27个项目的ICC = .82,12个项目的ICC = .73;父形式:27个项目的ICC = .87和ICC = .86(代表12项),但子代和父母形式之间的一致性始终很差(r = .24(代表27项)和r = .29(代表12项))。总体而言,结果表明IUS-C-12最适合青春期前的儿童及其父母。青春期前儿童的阅读年龄仍然较高,因此考虑开发阅读年龄较低的儿童报告版本可能对将来的研究有益。支持单因素模型。所有版本的总分的重测信度在2周内都很高(儿童形式:27个项目的ICC = .82,12个项目的ICC = .73;父形式:27个项目的ICC = .87和ICC = .86(代表12项),但子代和父母形式之间的一致性始终很差(r = .24(代表27项)和r = .29(代表12项))。总体而言,结果表明IUS-C-12最适合青春期前的儿童及其父母。青春期前儿童的阅读年龄仍然较高,因此考虑开发阅读年龄较低的儿童报告版本可能对将来的研究有益。12项为86),但孩子和父母的形式之间的一致性始终很差(27项为r = 0.24,12项为r = 0.29)。总体而言,结果表明IUS-C-12最适合青春期前的儿童及其父母。青春期前儿童的阅读年龄仍然较高,因此考虑开发阅读年龄较低的儿童报告版本可能对将来的研究有益。12项为86),但孩子和父母的形式之间的一致性始终很差(27项为r = 0.24,12项为r = 0.29)。总体而言,结果表明IUS-C-12最适合青春期前的儿童及其父母。青春期前儿童的阅读年龄仍然较高,因此考虑开发阅读年龄较低的儿童报告版本可能对将来的研究有益。
