本研究旨在建立Bermond-Vorst述情障碍问卷（BVAQ）的信度和效度。BVAQ由五个分量表组成，每个分量表包含八个项目。这些分量表被表示为抽象化、幻想化、识别化、分析化和语言化。通过比较三个语言群体的心理测量学分析结果，对工具的有效性进行了研究。此外，BVAQ分数与TAS-20测试分数和心理问题测量值相关。两项研究进行了。在第一项研究中，BVAQ管理的样本荷兰学生（n=375），法语比利时学生（n=175），和英语学生（n=129）的样本。克朗巴赫的α被认为是大约相同的三个样本（分量表的平均值约0.79，总规模约0.85）。40个项目的主成分分析显示，可比的五个因素的解决方案，在三个样本。英国学生的平均总分与荷兰和比利时学生的平均总分相差约0.29 SD。各分量表的相关系数在三个样本中相同。然而，主成分分析的分量表得分的英语科目显示不同的因素结构相比，在其他sample.In第二项研究中，BVAQ和荷兰版的TAS-20的430名荷兰学生进行管理。荷兰BVAQ（子）量表和TAS-20（子）量表之间的相关性支持BVAQ的有效性。BVAQ分数和心理问题测量之间的相关性进一步支持了BVAQ的有效性。(C)2001爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
The aim of this research is to establish the validity and reliability of the Bermond-Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire (BVAQ). The BVAQ consists of five subscales, each comprising of eight items. The subscales are denoted Emotionalizing, Fantasizing, Identifying, Analyzing, and Verbalizing. The validity of the instruments was investigated by comparing results of psychometric analyses in three language groups. In addition BVAQ scores were correlated, for comparison, with the TAS-20 test scores and with measures of psychological problems. Two studies were carried out.In the first study the BVAQ was administered to a sample of Dutch students (n=375), a sample of French-speaking Belgian students (n=175), and a sample of English students (n=129). Cronbach's alpha was found to be about the same in the three samples (means of subscales about 0.79; total scales about 0.85). Principal components analyses of the 40 items revealed comparable five-factor solutions in the three samples. The mean total score of UK students differs about 0.29 SD from that of the Dutch and Belgian students. The intercorrelations of subscales were the same in the three samples. However, principal components analyses of the subscale scores of the English subjects revealed a different factor structure compared to that in the other samples.In the second study, the BVAQ and the Dutch version of the TAS-20 were administered to 430 Dutch students. Correlations between (sub)scales of the Dutch BVAQ and (sub)scales of the TAS-20 support the validity of the BVAQ. The validity of the BVAQ is further supported by correlations between BVAQ scores and measurements of psychological problems. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
