描述了用于评估创伤性脑损伤个体的激越状态的量表的开发和初步验证。项目是从最初的39个项目池中挑选出来的，基于它们的可测试性、激越的差异性、出现的频率和该结构的全域的代表性。随后，对35名头部受伤受试者的独立样本进行了测试，得到的14个条目被称为激越行为量表(ABS)。信度通过内部一致性测量和主成分因子分析的定性评价进行检验。对于所有评分者来说，克朗巴赫的S阿尔法都超过了0.80。找到了可比的theta值，并满足了内部一致性的定性标准。在16项同时独立观察到的激越相关性中，15项ABS评分可解释36%至62%的变异。根据经典测试理论和确定结构效度所需的研究，对初步验证的结果进行了讨论。
Development and initial validation of a scale for assessment of agitation in traumatic brain-injured individuals is described. Items were selected from an initial 39-item pool based on their testability, differentiation of ''agitation, frequency of occurrence, and representation of the full domain of the construct. The resulting 14-item instrument, called the Agitated Behavior Scale (ABS), was subsequently tested on an independent sample of 35 head-injured subjects. Reliability was examined via measures of internal consistency and qualitative evaluation of principal components factor analysis. Cronbach''s alpha exceeded .80 for all raters. Comparable values of theta were found and qualitative criteria of internal consistency were met. The ABS score accounted for between 36% and 62% of the variance in 15 of 16 correlations with simultaneous, independent observations of agitation. Results of initial validation are discussed in light of classic test theory and research necessary for determination of construct validity.
