Abstract. The Preschool Self-Regulation Questionnaire (Questionario di Valutazione dell’Autoregolazione [QUVA-p]) is a teacher-completed screening tool for assessing child dysregulation at preschool age. This study presents the psychometric properties of the questionnaire, which was investigated in a sample of 413 preschoolers. We tested for construct validity, measurement invariance across gender, subscale internal consistency, subscale convergent validity with executive control tasks (working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility), and power to detect child differences in executive control. Results show that the factorial structure of the QUVA-p is in line with Nigg’s theoretical model of self-regulation and the subscales have good reliability. Measurement invariance is maintained across gender; the instrument reveals small but significant associations with executive control tasks, and it could be useful to detect child differences in executive control.

识别有自我调节问题的儿童

摘要。学龄前自我调节问卷 (Questionario di Valutazione dell'Autoregolazione [QUVA-p]) 是一种教师完成的筛查工具，用于评估学龄前儿童的失调。本研究介绍了问卷的心理测量特性，该问卷在 413 名学龄前儿童的样本中进行了调查。我们测试了结构效度、跨性别测量不变性、子量表内部一致性、执行控制任务（工作记忆、抑制控制和认知灵活性）的子量表收敛效度，以及检测执行控制中儿童差异的能力。结果表明，QUVA-p的因子结构符合Nigg的自我调节理论模型，分量表具有良好的信度。跨性别保持测量不变性；
