R. Goodman的力量与困难问卷（SDQ）被广泛用于测量儿童和青少年时期的情绪和行为困难。在本研究中，我们考察了SDQ是否在纵向研究中测量了相同的结构。一个全国代表性的父母样本（N = 3375）提供了他们孩子在4岁、5岁和6岁时的数据。使用验证性因子分析（CFA）对有序数据，两个竞争模型（三因素模型与五因素模型）进行测试，以建立跨时间的等效性。结果表明，与三因素模型相比，五因素模型对数据具有更好的拟合效果，而三因素模型仅在结构水平上达到适当的拟合。五因子亲本版本的SDQ具有较强的纵向因子不变性。我们的研究结果支持SDQ在纵向研究中的使用，并为基于SDQ结果的教育、临床和政策决策提供了重要的心理测量信息。
R. Goodman’s Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is widely used to measure emotional and behavioral difficulties in childhood and adolescence. In the present study, we examined whether the SDQ measures the same construct across time, when used for longitudinal research. A nationally representative sample of parents (N = 3,375) provided data on their children at ages 4, 5, and 6 years. Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for ordinal data, two competing models (three-factor model vs. five-factor model) were tested to establish equivalence across time. Results showed that the five-factor model had a superior fit to the data compared with the alternative three-factor model which only achieved an adequate fit at a configural level. Strong longitudinal factorial invariance was established for the five-factor parent version of the SDQ. Our findings support the use of the SDQ in longitudinal studies and provide the important psychometric information required for basing educational, clinical, and policy decisions on outcomes of the SDQ.
