文中描述了为研究阿拉伯穆斯林移民的母子适应而调整一大批措施的四个步骤和简化的过程，以及从中吸取的教训。简化的流程包括改编内容、翻译、试点测试和广泛的心理测量评估，但忽略了深入的定性调查以确定感兴趣结构的完整内容域，并忽略了认知访谈以评估受访者如何解释项目。吸取的经验教训表明，简化的程序不足以满足某些措施的需要，特别是在以下情况下：关于措施如何在不同群体中实施的公开信息很少，措施需要对项目进行大量修订才能实现内容等同，而且措施既难以翻译，又几乎没有冗余。当这些条件存在时，需要将特定条件的程序添加到简化的流程中。
A four-step, streamlined process to adapt a large battery of measures for a study of mother-child adjustment in Arab Muslim immigrants and the lessons learned are described. The streamlined process includes adapting content, translation, pilot testing, and extensive psychometric evaluation but omits in-depth qualitative inquiry to identify the full content domain of the constructs of interest and cognitive interviews to assess how respondents interpret items. Lessons learned suggest that the streamlined process is not sufficient for certain measures, particularly when there is little published information about how the measure performs with different groups, the measure requires substantial item revision to achieve content equivalence, and the measure is both challenging to translate and has little to no redundancy. When these conditions are present, condition-specific procedures need to be added to the streamlined process.
