选择性缄默症（SM）的研究一直受到缺乏标准化的，心理测量学的声音评估措施。我们的调查的目的是提出两项研究，检查因素结构和初始的信度和效度的选择性缄默症问卷（Selective Mutism questionnaire，简称MMTQ），一个17岁的家长报告措施未能发言有关SM。研究I（N = 589）利用互联网样本的父母的儿童年龄3至I I证明，在理论和临床上有意义的因素结构占一个显着部分的方差反应具有良好的内部一致性。研究2（N = 66）支持的有效性，评分区分临床转诊的儿童与其他焦虑症的SM儿童。量表得分与几个理论和临床重要维度的测量相关。
Research on selective mutism (SM) has been limited by the absence of standardized, psychometrically sound assessment measures. The purpose of our investigation was to present two studies that examined the factor structure and initial reliability and validity of the Selective Mutism Questionnaire (SMQ), a 17-itern parent report measure of failure to speak related to SM. Study I (N = 589) utilized an Internet sample of parents of children ages 3 to I I to demonstrate that the SMQ has a theoretically and clinically meaningful factor structure accounting for a significant portion of variance in responses with good internal consistency. Study 2 (N = 66) supported the validity of the SMQ in that scores discriminated clinic-referred children with SM from children with other anxiety disorders. Scores on the SMQ were correlated with measures of several theoretically and clinically important dimensions.
