优势和困难问卷（SDQ）是一个简短的筛选工具，解决了婴儿，儿童和青少年的积极和消极的行为属性。在日本，SDQ被广泛用于评估儿童发育障碍、心理和精神状况或障碍。然而，直到现在我们还没有日本版本的规范性数据。为了建立日语版本的社区数据和属性，我们收集并评估了2899名4-12岁日本儿童的父母评级，其中包括1463名男孩和1436名女孩。心理测量特性的统计评价包括验证拟议的规模结构，规模同质性的评估，并确定年龄，性别和每个困难的规模，或亲社会规模的关系的因素分析。男孩的总难度得分（8.70 +/- 5.03）高于女孩（7.86 +/- 4.88）。基于在日本社区样本中观察到的SDQ评分的分布，为每个量表定义了识别正常、边缘和异常（临床范围）的推荐带，并且在一些困难和亲社会SDQ评分中发现了一些性别差异。在评估父母在社区为基础的样本中获得的评级后，日本SDQ被证明具有良好的心理特性。因此，这一流行的多功能工具的日文翻译似乎与原始英文问卷一样可靠和有用。(C)2008 Elsevier B.

The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is a short screening instrument which addresses the positive and negative behavioral attributes of infants, children and adolescents. The SDQ is widely used to evaluate child developmental disabilities, psychological and psychiatric conditions or disorders in Japan. However, we did not have normative data for the Japanese version until now. To establish the community-based data and properties for the Japanese version, we collected and evaluated parent ratings of a total of 2899 Japanese children aged 4-12 years, including 1463 boys and 1436 girls. Statistical evaluation of psychometric properties included a factor analysis verifying the proposed scale structure, an assessment of scale homogeneities, and the determination of age, gender and relationship of each difficulties scale, or prosocial scale. The total difficulties score in boys (8.70 +/- 5.03) was higher than in girls (7.86 +/- 4.88). Based on the distributions of SDQ scores observed in the Japanese community sample, recommended bandings identifying normal, borderline, and abnormal (clinical ranges) were defined for each scale, and some gender difference was found in some difficulties and prosocial SDQ scores. After evaluating parent ratings obtained in a community-based sample, the Japanese SDQ was shown to possess favorable psychometric properties. Thus, the Japanese translation of this popular and versatile instrument seems to be approximately as reliable and useful as the original English questionnaire. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
