The Brief Adjustment Scale–6 (BASE-6) was recently developed for measuring general psychological functioning within measurement-based care (MBC). The present study further evaluated psychometric properties, generalizability to race/ethnic populations, and clinical utility of the BASE-6. Three adult samples, Sample 1: online community participants (n = 394); Sample 2: college students (n = 249); Sample 3: outpatient clinic clients (n = 80), were included. The results demonstrated a high level of internal consistency, good test–retest reliability, and convergent validity in all samples. The unidimensional structure of BASE-6 was confirmed and factorial invariance was established across groups. Finally, the BASE-6 captured change over time by demonstrating a large effect size of pre–post treatment changes and significant linear change in multilevel growth modeling. These results support the BASE-6 as a reliable and valid measure regardless of race/ethnicity and can sensitively detect clinical change over the course of the treatment. Thus, the BASE-6 appears to accurately monitor overall psychological adjustment.

最近开发了 Brief Adjustment Scale–6 (BASE-6)，用于测量基于测量的护理 (MBC) 中的一般心理功能。本研究进一步评估了 BASE-6 的心理测量特性、对种族/民族人群的普遍性和临床实用性。三个成人样本，样本 1：在线社区参与者 ( n = 394)；样本二：大学生（n =249）；样本 3：门诊客户（n= 80), 被包括在内。结果表明，所有样本都具有高水平的内部一致性、良好的重测信度和收敛效度。确定了 BASE-6 的一维结构，并建立了跨组的阶乘不变性。最后，BASE-6 通过证明治疗前后变化的大效应量和多级生长模型中的显着线性变化来捕捉随时间的变化。这些结果支持 BASE-6 作为一种可靠和有效的衡量标准，无论种族/民族如何，并且可以灵敏地检测治疗过程中的临床变化。因此，BASE-6 似乎可以准确地监测整体心理调整。
