Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide a qualitative review of the published research on the Scales for Assessing Emotional Disturbance-3: Screener noting the psychometric properties and overall findings. Results from 10 studies were reviewed and summarized. Across the studies, internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and inter-rater agreement were satisfactory. Unidimensionality of the tests scores was supported, and several studies reported only trivial degrees of bias across racial/ethnic and linguistic backgrounds. Diagnostic utility was acceptable as were convergent relations with other measures of psychopathology. Social validity was also satisfactory. This review indicates that the psychometric properties of the scores from the Screener meet acceptable professional standards and supports its use in school-based programs to identify at-risk students.

摘要

本文的目的是对已发表的关于“评估情绪障碍量表-3：筛选器”的研究进行定性审查，记录其心理测量特性和总体发现。对10项研究的结果进行了回顾和总结。在整个研究中，内部一致性，重测信度和评估者之间的一致性都令人满意。测试分数的单维性得到了支持，一些研究仅报告了种族/民族和语言背景之间的偏见程度。诊断效用是可以接受的，与其他精神病理学指标的趋同关系也可以接受。社会有效性也令人满意。
