本研究对儿童注意控制量表的因素结构和同时效度进行了检验（ACS-C; Muris，de Jong，& Engelen，2004），a youth self-rating scale of attention control.MethodA multisystem assessment approach was used with 186 children and adolescents referred to a anxiety disorders specialty clinic.ResultsExploratory factor analysis produced a 2-factor structure with internal consistent and注意力集中和注意力转移的中度相关分量表。总ACS-C和分量表分数表现出显着的关联与青年和家长的青少年焦虑症状，青少年自我评级的抑郁症状，和青年诊断的注意缺陷多动disorder.ConclusionsThese研究结果支持使用的ACS-C作为自我评价量表的注意力控制中提到的青年。鼓励未来的研究检查重测信度的ACS-C，并评估其内部结构是否可以通过删除或修改表现不佳的项目来增强。
ObjectiveThe present study examined the factor structure and concurrent validity of the Attentional Control Scale for Children (ACS‐C; Muris, de Jong, & Engelen, 2004), a youth self‐rating scale of attentional control.MethodA multisource assessment approach was used with 186 children and adolescents referred to an anxiety disorders specialty clinic.ResultsExploratory factor analysis yielded a 2‐factor structure with internally consistent and moderately correlated subscales of Attentional Focusing and Attentional Shifting. Total ACS‐C and subscale scores demonstrated significant associations with youth and parent ratings of youth anxiety symptoms, youth self ratings of depressive symptoms, and youth diagnosis of attention deficit–hyperactivity disorder.ConclusionsThese findings support use of the ACS‐C as a self‐rating scale of attentional control among referred youth. Future research is encouraged to examine retest reliability of the ACS‐C and to evaluate whether its internal structure could be enhanced by removing or modifying items that performed poorly.
