目前还不存在社会伪装行为的自我报告措施(用于补偿或掩盖社会互动中的自闭症特征的策略)。伪装自闭症特质问卷(CAT-Q)是根据自闭症成年人伪装的经验编制的，并在网上对354名自闭症成年人和478名非自闭症成年人进行了测试。探索性因素分析得出三个因素，共25个条目。验证性因素分析表明模型符合良好，测量不变性分析表明性别和诊断组的因素结构相同。内部一致性(α=0.94)和初测-重测信度(r=0.77)均可接受。通过与自闭症特征、幸福感、焦虑和抑郁的测量进行比较，证明了收敛的有效性。本研究为CAT-Q提供了强有力的心理测量学支持。
There currently exist no self-report measures of social camouflaging behaviours (strategies used to compensate for or mask autistic characteristics during social interactions). The Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) was developed from autistic adults' experiences of camouflaging, and was administered online to 354 autistic and 478 non-autistic adults. Exploratory factor analysis suggested three factors, comprising of 25 items in total. Good model fit was demonstrated through confirmatory factor analysis, with measurement invariance analyses demonstrating equivalent factor structures across gender and diagnostic group. Internal consistency (alpha=0.94) and preliminary test-retest reliability (r=0.77) were acceptable. Convergent validity was demonstrated through comparison with measures of autistic traits, wellbeing, anxiety, and depression. The present study provides robust psychometric support for the CAT-Q.
