儿童运动评估组合(M-ABC)是否测量了它声称要测量的东西？对M-ABC测验第二、三年龄段的损伤总分和部分项目分的同时效度进行了考察。对133名7至9岁的儿童进行了M-ABC测试、接球测试和两项动态平衡测试。其中90名儿童被确定为接球技能较差的儿童，43名儿童典型地处于发育中。用M-ABC第二年龄段(7岁和8岁儿童)和26名第三年龄段(9岁儿童)对107名儿童进行了评估。接球测试、两个动态平衡任务与M-ABC的相应条目之间的相关分析结果从无显著到极显著变化，相关系数为-0.74。对于某些项目，建立了同时效度，但其他项目似乎没有那么有效，可能是因为缺乏区分能力。第二个年龄段的M-ABC损伤总分的同时效度被证实。接球测试、动态平衡技术与M-ABC的相关系数在-0.72~-0.76之间。第三个年龄段的结果必须谨慎解读，因为它们只基于26名儿童。(C)2004爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
Does the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (M-ABC) measures what it claims to measure? The concurrent validity of the total impairment score and some of the item scores of the second and third age band of the M-ABC test were investigated. One hundred thirty three children, between 7- and 9-year-old, were assessed with the M-ABC test, a ball catching test and two tasks measuring dynamic balance. Ninety of these children were identified as children with a poor ball catching skill and 43 children were typically developing children. One hundred and seven children were assessed with the second age band of the M-ABC (the 7- and 8-yearold children) and 26 with the third age band (the 9-year-old children). The results of the correlation analysis between the ball catching test, the two dynamic balance tasks and the corresponding items of the M-ABC, varied from non-significant to a highly significant correlation coefficient of -0.74. For some items concurrent validity was established but other items seemed less valid, probably due to a lack of discriminative power. The concurrent validity of the total impairment score of the M-ABC was confirmed for the second age band. Correlation coefficients between the ball catching test, the dynamic balance skills and the M-ABC varied between -0.72 and -0.76. The results for the third age band have to be interpreted with prudence because they were based on only 26 children. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
