本研究在临床样本中考察了迟缓的认知节奏(SCT)与ADHD症状、临床诊断和多方面调整的关系。收集了322名在大学诊所接受行为、情绪和/或学习问题评估的儿童和青少年的家长和教师报告。验证性因素分析(CFA)支持家长和教师评分中存在三个独立但相关的因素(SCT、注意力不集中和多动/冲动)。正如预期的那样，SCT症状在青少年ADHD注意力不集中类型中最严重，但也在非ADHD临床组中发现。SCT症状与父母和教师的注意力不集中、内化和社交问题有关；对于家长报告，SCT也与更多的外化问题有关。研究结果支持SCT结构的统计有效性，但其临床应用仍不清楚。
The present study examined Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT) in relation to ADHD symptoms, clinical diagnosis, and multiple aspects of adjustment in a clinical sample. Parent and teacher reports were gathered for 322 children and adolescents evaluated for behavioral, emotional, and/or learning problems at a university clinic. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) supported the presence of three separate, but correlated factors (SCT, inattention, and hyperactivity/impulsivity) in both parent and teacher ratings. As expected, SCT symptoms were greatest in youth with ADHD Inattentive type, but were also found in non-ADHD clinical groups. SCT symptoms were related to inattention, internalizing, and social problems across both parent and teacher informants; for parent reports, SCT was also related to more externalizing problems. Findings support the statistical validity of the SCT construct, but its clinical utility is still unclear.
