本研究考察了Arc自决权量表（SDS）和American Institutes for Research self-determination量表（AIR）在自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）学生中的信效度和假设因子结构。95名13至21岁的中学生（17%为女生，83%为男生）参与了调查。SDS和AIR数据分别进行项目分析和验证性因子分析。综上所述，本研究的结果表明：(a)本研究中的两种测量方法在测量自闭症学生的整体自决方面显示出信度和效度；(b)参数估计和模型拟合统计支持两种工具的假设因素结构（SDS有轻微变化）。讨论了未来研究的建议和对教育工作者的启示。
This study examined the reliability and validity and hypothesized factor structure of two assessments of self-determination, the Arc's Self-Determination Scale (SDS) and the American Institutes for Research Self-Determination Scale (AIR) in students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Ninety-five middle and high school students (17% female and 83% male) aged 13 through 21 years participated. Item analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted separately for the SDS and AIR data. Together, the findings of this study suggest that (a) the two measures in this study show reliability and validity in the measurement of global self-determination in students with ASD and (b) the parameter estimates and the model fit statistics support the hypothesized factor structure of both instruments (with light variation for the SDS). Suggestions for future research and implications for educators are discussed.
