为了评估事件影响量表(IES量表)在儿童中的心理测量特性，对克罗地亚、波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那战争中的1787名儿童进行了研究。研究小组包括877名女孩和910名男孩，年龄从6岁到15岁不等，就读于萨格勒布28所任意选择的学校。在儿童组中发现了高水平的创伤后反应。IES量表的背书模式和因子结构与其他样本相似。这支持了IES在评估儿童创伤后应激反应中的使用。主成分分析得出两个因素，标记为入侵(9个项目)和回避(4个项目)。与其他研究一样，这项研究记录了几个项目(项目2、12和15)的问题，这些项目应该被认为是从独立专家系统中省略的。在15个项目中，有13个项目的女孩报告的痛苦程度明显更高。女孩的IES总分以及入侵和回避得分都显著高于男孩。男孩和女孩的因素结构非常相似，该量表的可靠性在不同年龄组以及流离失所儿童和难民儿童亚群中都是足够的。
To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Impact of Event Scale (IES scale) in children a study was conducted on 1787 children exposed to the warfare in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The study group comprised 877 girls and 910 boys ranging in age from 6 to 15 years attending 28 arbitrary selected schools in Zagreb. High levels of posttraumatic reactions were found in the group of children. The pattern of endorsement and the factor structure of the IES scale were similar to that found in other samples. This supports the use of the IES in the assessment of posttraumatic stress reactions in children. Two factors emerged from a Principal Component Analysis, labeled intrusion (9 items), and avoidance (4 items). As in other studies, this study documented problems with several items (items 2, 12 and 15), items that should be considered omitted from the IES. Girls reported significantly more distress on 13 out of the 15 items. Both the overall IES score as well as the intrusion and avoidance score were significantly higher in girls than boys. The factor structure for boys and girls were very similar, and the reliability of the scale was adequate across different age groups and for subgroups of displaced and refugee children.
