目的：本研究的目的是实证评估心理测量学特性的多维青年自我报告措施的疏忽behaviorsbyparents.Method：数据收集从593 12岁的青少年参与的纵向研究虐待儿童和虐待儿童（LONGSCAN）财团; 272也有数据在14岁。青年人对他们被忽视经历的25项衡量标准作出了回应。专家评分员将项目分为4个因素，然后进行验证性因素分析。我们评估了跨组测量等效性的性别和纵向测量等效性从12岁到14岁。有效性进行了评估的因素得分和（1）忽视报告儿童保护服务（CPS），（2）亲子互动的质量，（3）父母monitoring.Results：忽视的3因素模型（身体需求，情感支持，和父母的监控）之间的关系，与跨性别和纵向（12-14岁）的等效。的因素得分，CPS报告，和措施的亲子关系之间的相关性的模式提供了温和的收敛validity.Conclusions的支持：研究结果表明，一个有前途的和相对简短的青年自我报告措施的忽视，以帮助推进这方面的研究。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Objective: This study aimed to empirically assess psychometric properties of a multidimensional youth self-report measure of neglectful behavior by parents.Method: Data were gathered from 593 12-year-old youth participating in the Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect (LONGSCAN) consortium; 272 also had data at age 14. Youth responded to a 25-item measure of their experiences of neglect. Expert raters classified items into 4 factors, followed by confirmatory factor analyses. We evaluated cross group measurement equivalence by gender and longitudinal measurement equivalence from age 12 to age 14. Validity was assessed by the relationships between factor scores and (1) neglect reports to child protective services (CPS), (2) quality of parent-child interactions, and (3) parental monitoring.Results: A 3-factor model (Physical Needs, Emotional Support, and Parental Monitoring) of neglect was obtained, with equivalence across gender and longitudinally (age 12-14). The pattern of correlations between the factor scores, CPS reports, and measures of the parent-child relationship offered modest to moderate support for convergent validity.Conclusions: The findings suggest a promising and relatively brief youth self-report measure of neglect to help advance research in this area.
