随着人们对缓慢认知节奏(SCT)的兴趣增加，该领域的一个主要限制是缺乏一套统一的症状来评估SCT。现有的SCT测量没有包括最近一项荟萃分析中确定的最适合区分SCT和注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)的所有项目。本研究评估了一种新的用于评估成人SCT的自我报告测量工具--成人注意力集中量表(ACI)，它是根据元分析结果而开发的。使用多所大学的大样本(N=3,172)，我们评估了ACI的收敛和判别效度和可靠性。我们还评估了SCT的ACI测量与自我报告的人口学特征、日常生活执行功能、社会情绪适应(即焦虑/抑郁、孤独、情绪失调、自尊)和功能障碍的关系。探索性验证性因素分析得到10个ACI条目，在焦虑/抑郁和ADHD注意力不集中症状维度上均表现出较强的收敛和区分效度。SCT与日常生活EF缺陷、较差的社会情绪适应和较大的全球功能损害之间存在中度到强烈的相关性。此外，SCT在结构回归分析中仍然是唯一与大多数ADHD以上和之外的外部标准域相关的。最后，当内化症状也是不同的时候，SCT，而不是ADHD注意力不集中，仍然与较差的社会情绪适应显著相关。这些发现支持在未来的研究中使用ACI来检查成年期的SCT，并在推动该领域走向一套可以跨研究使用的SCT项目方面做出了重大贡献。
As interest in sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) increases, a primary limitation for the field is the lack of a unified set of symptoms for assessing SCT. No existing SCT measure includes all items identified in a recent meta-analysis as optimal for distinguishing between SCT and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This study evaluates a new self-report measure for assessing SCT in adulthood, the Adult Concentration Inventory (ACI), which was developed in response to the meta-analytic findings for assessing SCT. Using a large, multi-university sample (N = 3,172), we evaluated the convergent and discriminant validity and reliability of the ACI. We also evaluated the ACI measure of SCT in relation to self-reported demographic characteristics, daily life executive functioning, socio-emotional adjustment (i.e., anxiety/depression, loneliness, emotion dysregulation, self-esteem), and functional impairment. Exploratory confirmatory factor analyses resulted in 10 ACI items demonstrating strong convergent and discriminant validity from both anxiety/depressive and ADHD inattentive symptom dimensions. SCT was moderately-to-strongly correlated with daily life EF deficits, poorer socio-emotional adjustment, and greater global functional impairment. Moreover, SCT remained uniquely associated in structural regression analyses with most of these external criterion domains above and beyond ADHD. Finally, when internalizing symptoms were also covaried, SCT, but not ADHD inattention, remained significantly associated with poorer socio-emotional adjustment. These findings support the use of the ACI in future studies examining SCT in adulthood and make a major contribution in moving the field toward a unified set of SCT items that can be used across studies.
