Abstract

Objective: This study analyzes the psychometric properties of the two forms (self-report and informant) of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult version (BRIEF-A) in a sample of healthy Portuguese adults.

Method: The participants were 608 adults, 304 of whom answered the self-report form (ages 18-59; 137 male and 167 female) and 304 who answered the informant form (ages 18-70; 110 male and 194 female).

Results: The internal consistency for the indexes and the Global Executive Composite was very good (≥.90), whereas for the scales they were either acceptable (between .70 and .80) or good (≥.80), except for the Inhibit scale in both forms. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test seven competing factor models for each of the forms. The original two-factor model (Behavioral Regulation and Metacognition Indexes) showed a slightly better model fit than the three-factor model (Behavioral Regulation, Emotional Regulation, and Metacognition Indexes) in both forms. The multiple-group analysis of the two-correlated-factor model across forms was supported (configural, metric, and partial scalar invariance).

Conclusions: Overall, the BRIEF-A showed adequate psychometric properties, suggesting that it is a useful instrument to assess everyday executive functioning in healthy Portuguese adults.

摘要- a:自我报告和被告知形式之间的因素结构和测量不变性。

目的:分析葡萄牙健康成人执行功能行为评定量表成人版(BRIEF-A)两种形式(自我报告和被告知者)的心理测量特征。方法:成人608人，其中304人填写自述表(年龄18-59岁;137名男性和167名女性)和304名填写了举报表格的人(年龄在18-70岁;110名男性和194名女性)。结果:各指标与Global Executive Composite的内部一致性非常好(≥0.90)，而各量表的内部一致性要么尚可(在0.70 ~ 0.80之间)，要么良好(≥0.80)，但抑制量表两种形式的内部一致性除外。验证性因子分析是用来测试七个竞争因素模型为每个形式。原始的两因素模型(行为调节指数和元认知指数)在两种形式下都比三因素模型(行为调节指数、情绪调节指数和元认知指数)的模型拟合略好。支持跨形式的双相关因子模型的多组分析(配置、度量和部分标量不变性)。结论:总的来说，BRIEF-A显示了足够的心理测量特性，表明它是评估健康葡萄牙成年人日常执行功能的有用工具。

期刊介绍： pplied Neuropsychology-Adult publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in adults. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of adult patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
