Socioemotional deprivation, or the absence of developmentally expected social experiences, has been linked to long-lasting health and psychological outcomes. To date, current measures of socioemotional deprivation fail to capture the cumulative impact of neglectful experiences across multiple social relationships and developmental periods. The current study developed and validated the Neglectful Experiences and Deprivation Scale (NEADS) on a sample of 547 stress-exposed adults (M/SD_age=27.77/6.54 years old; 56.5% male). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses in independent samples revealed a three-factor solution as the best fitting model: Caregiver Deprivation (four items; e.g., abandonment), Peer Deprivation (four items; e.g., physical isolation), Romantic Partner Deprivation (four items; e.g., emotionally unavailable). Indicators of construct validity and internal consistency support the selected three-factor model. Results provide strong preliminary evidence of the validity of the NEADS for assaying the severity, developmental timing, and psychological impact of socioemotional deprivation across the lifespan.

社会情感剥夺，或缺乏发育预期的社会经验，与长期的健康和心理结果有关。迄今为止，目前的社会情感剥夺措施未能捕捉到疏忽经历在多种社会关系和发展时期的累积影响。目前的研究开发并验证了547 名压力暴露成人（M/SD_年龄= 27.77/6.54 岁；56.5% 为男性）样本的忽视经历和剥夺量表 (NEADS) 。独立样本中的探索性和验证性因素分析表明，三因素解决方案是最合适的模型：看护者剥夺（四项；例如，遗弃）、同伴剥夺（四项；例如，身体隔离），浪漫伴侣剥夺（四项；例如，情感上不可用）。结构有效性和内部一致性指标支持所选的三因素模型。结果提供了强有力的初步证据，证明NEADS在分析整个生命周期中社会情感剥夺的严重程度、发育时间和心理影响方面的有效性。
