目标.本研究的目的是获得数据的全国样本的儿童没有残疾的125项修订的感官配置文件，一个工具，来自感官历史项目的文献报道，旨在评估儿童的反应，常见的感官events.Method。1，115名儿童的父母完成了感官概况。这些儿童年龄在3至10岁之间，没有残疾。父母使用5分制的李克特量表来报告他们的孩子参与每种行为的时间百分比。然后研究人员分析了数据，使用多变量方法来确定表现趋势以及年龄和性别差异。在这个全国性的非残疾儿童样本中，发现125个项目中有91个（73%）是不常见的行为。虽然年龄和性别差异显著（p < .001），但效应量很小（即，低于0.2）差异对于临床应用没有意义（即，平均差异小于0.5分）。只有两个项目的视觉类别接近1点的差异时，比较年轻和桤木儿童。在修订后的感觉特征方面没有有意义的性别差异，只有2个项目接近与年龄相关的有意义差异。简介中近四分之三的项目对非残疾儿童来说是不常见的。如果患有各种残疾的儿童表现出这些行为，感官特征可以用于残疾儿童的评估和计划规划。
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to obtain data about a national sample of children without disabilities on the 125-item revision of the Sensory Profile, a tool derived from sensory history items reported in the literature and designed to evaluate children's responses to commonly occurring sensory events.Method. Parents of 1,115 children completed the Sensory Profile. The children were 3 to 10 years of age and did not have disabilities. Parents used a 5-point Likert scale to report the percentage of time their children engaged in each behavior. Researchers then analyzed the data, using multivariate methods to identify trends in performance and age and gender differences.Results. Ninety-one (73%) of the profile's 125 items were found to be uncommon behaviors for this national sample of children without disabilities. Although age and gender differences were significant (p < .001), effect sizes were so small (i.e., below .2) that differences were not meaningful for clinical application (i.e., mean differences less than .5 points). Only two items in the visual category approached a 1-point difference when comparing younger and alder children.Conclusion. There were no meaningful gender differences on the revised Sensory Profile, and only 2 items approached a meaningful difference related to age. Nearly three fourths of the items on the profile were uncommon for children without disabilities. If children with various disabilities display these behaviors, the Sensory Profile can be useful in evaluation and program planning for children with disabilities.
