Abstract

Adolescent anhedonia is a multidimensional construct defined as the loss of enjoyment or pleasure across multiple domains of life. Anhedonia is concurrently associated with substantial impairment and distress, and it prospectively predicts the onset, severity, and treatment of depression. Despite its demonstrated importance, a limited number of anhedonia measures are validated for adolescents. The current study assessed the psychometric properties of the Dimensional Anhedonia Rating Scale (DARS) in 400 English-speaking, 12- to 19-year-old adolescents. Overall, the DARS demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validity, but sub-optimal concurrent validity. The strengths and limitations of the DARS and its utility as a measure of adolescent anhedonia are discussed. Furthermore, future directions for the construction of measures of adolescent anhedonia are outlined.
青少年快感缺乏症的评估:维度快感缺乏症评定量表的心理测量特征和有效性
青少年快感缺乏症是一种多维度的结构,被定义为在生活的多个领域中失去享受或快乐。快感缺乏症同时与实质性损害和痛苦相关,它可以预测抑郁症的发病、严重程度和治疗。尽管证明了它的重要性,但对青少年来说,有限数量的快感缺乏措施是有效的。目前的研究评估了400名说英语的12- 19岁青少年的维度快感缺乏症评定量表(DARS)的心理测量特性。总体而言,DARS具有较好的收敛效度和判别效度,但并发效度不理想。讨论了DARS的优势和局限性及其作为青少年快感缺乏症测量的效用。展望了青少年快感缺乏症量表构建的未来发展方向。
