执行功能成人版行为评定量表(Brief-A)是一种用于评估日常生活中执行功能的问卷测量工具。对Brief-A标准化样本的数据分析得出了一个双因素解决方案(标记为行为调节和元认知)。本研究采用验证性因素分析(CFA)对524名健康青年样本进行了简明-A自评量表的四种可供选择的因素结构模型的评价。结果表明，三因素模型最符合数据：元认知因素，由抑制和自我监控量表组成的行为调节因素，由情绪控制和转移量表组成的情绪调节因素。这三个因素对模型的独特性方差的贡献率分别为14%、19%和24%，二阶综合因子对总体方差的贡献率为41%。这三个因素的解决方案与简报母公司报告表格最近的财务状况分析一致。此外，尽管双因素模型中的行为调节因子得分在患有注意缺陷/多动障碍的成年人和匹配的健康对照组之间没有差异，但在三因素模型中发现行为调节因子的损害更大，但情绪调节因子的损害不大。总而言之，这些发现支持执行功能的多维性质和Brief-A的三因素模型的临床相关性。
The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Version (BRIEF-A) is a questionnaire measure designed to assess executive functioning in everyday life. Analysis of data from the BRIEF-A standardization sample yielded a two-factor solution (labeled Behavioral Regulation and Metacognition). The present investigation employed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to evaluate four alternative models of the factor structure of the BRIEF-A self-report form in a sample of 524 healthy young adults. Results indicated that a three-factor model best fits the data: a Metacognition factor, a Behavioral Regulation factor consisting of the Inhibit and Self-Monitor scales, and an Emotional Regulation factor composed of the Emotional Control and Shift scales. The three factors contributed 14%, 19%, and 24% of unique variance to the model, respectively, and a second-order general factor accounted for 41% of variance overall. This three-factor solution is consistent with recent CFAs of the Parent report form of the BRIEF. Furthermore, although the Behavioral Regulation factor score in the two-factor model did not differ between adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and a matched healthy comparison group, greater impairment on the Behavioral Regulation factor but not the Emotional Regulation factor was found using the three-factor model. Together, these findings support the multidimensional nature of executive function and the clinical relevance of a three-factor model of the BRIEF-A.
