尽管有足够的证据将特定的儿童气质特征与以后生活中的行为障碍联系起来，但目前缺乏可以早期，容易和广泛用于筛查目的的气质措施。为了弥补这一差距，目前的研究旨在开发一个非常简短的儿童气质特征量表，这些气质特征被发现可以预测长期的行为问题，在气质模型中得到代表，并且有可能在不同的国家和儿童时期表现出测量不变性。新量表来自综合儿童气质量表，这是一项30项测量，用于评估五个成熟的气质维度，并在三项研究中对五个国家2至8岁的儿童进行了检查：美国，英国，中国，德国和西班牙（N = 13，425;男孩55.96%）。这些研究包括测量不变性的测试，收敛效度与既定的气质措施，和标准效度与行为问题的措施。该量表在不同年龄组（幼儿期、学龄前、学龄期）和国家之间表现出完全度量不变性和部分标量不变性。重测信度，跨教师评价者信度，收敛和标准效度是足够的。该措施的临床效用的初步数据表明，简洁和筛选准确性之间的有利平衡。总而言之，这项研究表明，在不同的国家和年龄组中，可以快速，有效和可靠地评估儿童早期气质特征，使儿童在以后的生活中有发展行为问题的风险。
Despite ample evidence linking particular child temperament characteristics to behavior disorders later in life, there is currently a lack of temperament measures that can be used early, easily, and widely for screening purposes. To redress this gap, the current research aimed at developing a very brief scale of child temperament characteristics that have been found to predict behavior problems over the long term, are represented across models of temperament, and have the potential to exhibit measurement invariance over different countries and childhood periods. The new scale was derived from the Integrative Child Temperament Inventory, a 30-item measure to assess five well-established temperament dimensions, and examined in three studies with samples of children aged between 2 and 8 years across five countries: The United States, the United Kingdom, China, Germany, and Spain ( N = 13,425; boys 55.96%). The studies included tests of measurements invariance, of convergent validity with established measures of temperament, and of criterion validity with measures of behavior problems. The scale exhibited full metric invariance and partial scalar invariance across age groups (toddlerhood, preschool, school age) and countries. Test–retest reliability, interrater reliability across teachers, and convergent and criterion validity were adequate. Preliminary data on the measure’s clinical utility suggest a favorable balance between brevity and screening accuracy. Altogether, this study suggests that early childhood temperament characteristics placing children at risk for developing behavior problems much later in life can be quickly, effectively, and commensurably assessed across different countries and age groups.
