本文描述了社会交往变化简要观察量表（BOSCC）的心理测量特性和初步效度，该量表是一种针对社会交往行为治疗反应的测量工具。BOSCC编码方案应用于对56名患有自闭症且语言能力极低的幼儿的177次视频观察。BOSCC具有较高到极好的评分者间信度和重测信度，并且在语言和沟通技能的测量方面显示出聚合效度。与无变化的替代方案相比，BOSCC核心总分在一段时间内显示出具有统计学意义的变化量，而在同一时间段内，自闭症诊断观察量表（ADOS）的校准严重程度得分（CSS）则没有。这项工作是开发一种用于社会交往行为的新型结果测量方法的第一步，可应用于临床试验和纵向研究。
Psychometric properties and initial validity of the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change (BOSCC), a measure of treatment-response for social-communication behaviors, are described. The BOSCC coding scheme is applied to 177 video observations of 56 young children with ASD and minimal language abilities. The BOSCC has high to excellent inter-rater and test-retest reliability and shows convergent validity with measures of language and communication skills. The BOSCC Core total demonstrates statistically significant amounts of change over time compared to a no change alternative while the ADOS CSS over the same period of time did not. This work is a first step in the development of a novel outcome measure for social-communication behaviors with applications to clinical trials and longitudinal studies.
