This study examined the reliability and validity of scores from questionnaires assessing compensatory cognitive strategy use by young adults. Participants (N = 783; 79.6% women; 77.4% White; Age: M = 18.7 ± 0.9 years) completed the Compensatory Cognitive Strategies Scale (CCSS), Metamemory Questionnaire–Strategies (MMQ-S), Neuro-Quality of Life (Neuro-QoL) v2.0 Short Form–Cognitive Function, and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Reliability estimates were acceptable for the CCSS (α = .85) and MMQ-S (α = .86) in the full sample and comparable in subsamples stratified by gender and self-reported mental health conditions. The CCSS and MMQ-S scores showed evidence for convergent validity (r range: .60 to .70) and discriminant validity in the full sample and subsamples (r with DERS range: .13 to .33). Greater compensatory strategy use had small-to-medium associations with greater subjective cognitive concerns on the Neuro-QOL for the full sample and subsamples (r range: −.19 to −.49). The CCSS and MMQ-S scores showed acceptable properties for use with young adults.

本研究检验了评估年轻人补偿性认知策略使用的问卷分数的可靠性和有效性。参与者（N = 783；79.6% 女性；77.4% 白人；年龄：M = 18.7 ± 0.9 岁）完成了补偿性认知策略量表 (CCSS)、元记忆问卷-策略 (MMQ-S)、神经生活质量 (Neuro -QoL) v2.0 简表 - 认知功能和情绪调节量表 (DERS) 的困难。CCSS (α = .85) 和 MMQ-S (α = .86) 在整个样本中的可靠性估计是可以接受的，并且在按性别和自我报告的心理健康状况分层的子样本中具有可比性。CCSS 和 MMQ-S 分数显示了收敛效度的证据（r范围：0.60 到 0.70）和全样本和子样本的区分效度（r与 DERS 范围：0.13 到 .33）。对于全样本和子样本（ r范围：-.19 到 -.49），更大的补偿策略使用与神经 QOL 的更大主观认知问题具有中小型关联。CCSS 和 MMQ-S 分数显示出适合年轻人使用的可接受的特性。
