本研究首次尝试考察荷兰青少年的优势与困难问卷（SDQ）的心理测量特性。大量正常儿童和青少年（N = 562）及其父母完成了SDQ以及其他一些精神病理学测量。SDQ的因素分析得出了与假设的多动亚量表——注意力不集中、情绪症状、同伴问题、行为问题和亲社会行为——保持一致的五个因素。各SDQ量表的内部一致性、重测稳定性、亲子一致性均可接受。最后，SDQ的并发效度很好：也就是说，它的分数与精神病理学的其他测量在理论上有意义的方式相关。在荷兰社区样本中，父母和自我报告版本的SDQ的心理测量特性是令人满意的。此外，目前的数据进一步支持SDQ作为青少年精神病理症状指标的效用。
This study was a first attempt to examine the psychometric properties of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) in Dutch youths. A large sample of normal children and adolescents (N = 562) and their parents completed the SDQ along with a number of other psychopathology measures. Factor analysis of the SDQ yielded five factors that were in keeping with the hypothesised subscales of hyperactivity-inattention, emotional symptoms, peer problems, conduct problems, and prosocial behaviour. Furthermore, internal consistency, test-retest stability, and parent-youth agreement of the various SDQ scales were acceptable. Finally, the concurrent validity of the SDQ was good: that is, its scores correlated in a theoretically meaningful way with other measures of psychopathology. It can be concluded that the psychometric properties of the parent-and self-report version of the SDQ were satisfactory in this Dutch community sample. Moreover, the current data provide further support for the utility of the SDQ as an index of psychopathological symptoms in youths.
