儿童临床问题可能在其引起诊所转诊的能力方面有所不同，并且问题的这种”可解释性”也可能因表现这些问题的儿童的性别或文化而不同。作者提出了（1）研究这种差异的方法和（2）一个新的统计量，可重复性指数（RI）。RI反映了儿童问题刺激诊所转诊的频率，并根据其在一般人群中的患病率进行了调整。RI进行了评估，在96名男性和96名女性美国和94名男性和94名女性泰国儿童（6-11岁）在118个儿童问题的儿童行为检查表作为一个功能的问题类型（过度控制与控制不足），儿童性别和文化。这两种类型的问题，女孩比男孩更容易理解;在美国，控制不足的问题比控制过度的问题更容易理解，但令人惊讶的是，在泰国却不是这样。这些发现为性别和文化差异提供了新的线索，并说明了RI统计数据的经验和启发性潜力。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2016阿帕，保留所有权利）
Child clinical problems may differ in their power to evoke clinic referral, and this" referability" of problems may also differ with the gender or culture of the child who manifests them. The authors propose (1) a method for the study of such differences and (2) a new statistic, the referability index (RI). RI reflects the frequency with which a child problem stimulates clinic referral, adjusted for its prevalence in the general population. RI was assessed in 96 male and 96 female US and in 94 male and 94 female Thai children (aged 6–11 yrs) across 118 child problems from the Child Behavior Checklist as a function of problem type (overcontrolled vs undercontrolled), child gender, and culture. Problems of both types were more referable in girls than boys; undercontrolled problems were more referable than overcontrolled in the US but, surprisingly, not in Thailand. The findings shed new light on gender and culture differences and illustrate the empirical and heuristic potential of the RI statistic.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
