目的：比较挪威语翻译的年龄和阶段表的规范性数据与原始美国规范性数据。研究方法：挪威出生的母亲从人口登记册中随机选择完成挪威语翻译的年龄和阶段量表，一系列的19个特定年龄的儿童发育筛查问卷，每个由30个项目组成的五个领域：沟通，大运动，精细运动，解决问题，和个人社会。研究了10个年龄特异性问卷（年龄为4、8、12、16、20、24、30、36、48和60个月）的领域评分组差异与原始美国标准数据。挪威的数据由1341名儿童组成，每个年龄段的儿童人数在82至176人之间。结果：总体而言，父母对孩子发展的报告在两个数据集中非常相似。50个平均值比较中只有5个显示平均差异大于0.5的科恩d或大于域得分的最小增量。分数的变化往往是有点小，在挪威sample.Conclusion：这似乎是合理的期望，域分数的年龄和阶段的评分可能会以同样的方式在挪威和美国的解释，这些结果也可能推广到其他西方设置。来自真实随机样本的这些发现也增加了原始规范数据的置信度。
Aim: To compare normative data of a Norwegian translation of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires with original US normative data. Methods: Norwegian-born mothers randomly selected from the population register completed Norwegian translations of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires, a series of 19 age-specific child development screening questionnaires each made up of 30 items in five domains: Communication, Gross Motor, Fine Motor, Problem Solving, and Personal-Social. Domain score group differences with original US normative data on 10 age-specific questionnaires ( for ages 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60 mo) were investigated. The Norwegian data consisted of 1341 children, varying between 82 and 176 per age interval. Results: On the whole, parents' reports of their children's development were very similar in the two data sets. Only five out of 50 mean comparisons revealed a mean difference either greater than a Cohen's d of 0.5 or greater than the smallest increment on a domain score. The variation in scores tended to be somewhat smaller in the Norwegian sample.Conclusion: It seems reasonable to expect that domain scores on the Ages and Stages Questionnaires may be interpreted in the same way in Norway and the United States, and these results may also generalize to other Western settings. These findings from a true random sample also increase the confidence in the original normative data.
