本研究旨在开发和检验青少年青少年图式问卷(B-YSQ-A)的心理测量学特性，以便在较年轻的人群中准确测量早期适应不良图式。早期的适应不良图式是自我挫败的核心主题，构成了适应不良认知、情感和行为的基础。以社区为样本，对877名12-18岁的青少年进行问卷调查，内容涉及不良适应图式、愤怒管理、内化和外化症状。构成B-YSQ-A的条目是根据统计和内容分析标准选出的。考察了量表的内部结构、信度、基于年龄和性别的不变性以及性别间的均值差异，以及与外部变量的关系。验证性因素分析结果表明，18个原始图式因素具有较好的拟合效果。这些图式也显示出足够的内部一致性和重测信度，但权利/浮夸和自我牺牲图式除外。B-YSQ-A具有年龄和性别不变性。在性别差异上，男生在权利/浮夸、自控/自律不足、寻求认可/认可、严厉标准/超批评和惩罚性图式上得分较高，而女生在遗弃/不稳定、不信任/虐待和自我牺牲图式上得分较高。此外，还发现了与内化和外化症状学和愤怒表达的测量相关的结构效度的证据。研究结果为青少年使用B-YSQ-A提供了支持，无论是出于研究还是干预目的。
The current work aims to develop and examine the psychometric properties of the Brief form of the Young Schema Questionnaire for Adolescents (B-YSQ-A), so that Early Maladaptive Schemas can be accurately measured in younger populations. Early Maladaptive Schemas are self-defeating core themes underlying maladaptive cognition, affect, and behavior. A community sample of 877 adolescents, aged 12–18 years old, filled out self-report instruments on maladaptive schemas, anger management, and internalizing and externalizing symptoms. The items composing the B-YSQ-A were selected based on statistical and content analyses criteria. Its internal structure, reliability, age- and gender-based invariance, and between-gender mean differences were examined, as well as its relationship with external variables. Results indicated a satisfying fit for the 18 original schema factors through confirmatory factor analysis. These schemas also showed adequate internal consistency and test-retest reliability, with the exception of the entitlement/grandiosity and self-sacrifice schemas. The B-YSQ-A was found to be age and gender invariant. Concerning gender differences, boys scored higher on the entitlement/grandiosity, insufficient self-control/discipline, approval/recognition seeking, unrelenting standards/hyper-criticalness and punitiveness schemas, whereas girls scored higher on the abandonment/instability, mistrust/abuse, and self-sacrifice schemas. Furthermore, evidence was found for construct validity in relation to measures of internalizing and externalizing symptomatology and of anger expression. Findings offer support for the use of the B-YSQ-A with adolescents, both for research and intervention purposes.
