Abstract

Rapport in the context of neuropsychological assessment refers to the interpersonal interaction between the examinee and examiner. The purpose of this study was to improve upon the original Barnett Rapport Questionnaire. Participants consisted of college students (n = 55), middle-aged adults (n = 30), and older adults (n = 99) at a university-affiliated neuropsychology clinic, who were administered a brief test battery. After testing, both examinees (n = 184) and examiners (n = 12) completed items regarding the nature of the interpersonal interaction. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated a two-factor model consisting of nine items found on both the examinee and examiner versions. No age cohort differences were found on the total Barnett Rapport Questionnaire - 2 (BRQ-2) scores for the examiner or examinee version; however, older adults endorsed the positively worded items more than young adults, and examiners endorsed the negatively worded items more for young adult examinees than for older adult examinees. No differences were found by gender or by race/ethnicity. The BRQ-2 promises better usability and improved psychometric qualities for the measurement of rapport in the context of neuropsychological assessment.

神经心理测试考官-考生关系量表的开发：Barnett关系问卷- 2。

在神经心理评估中，融洽关系是指考生与考官之间的人际互动。本研究的目的是改进原来的巴奈特融洽关系问卷。参与者包括大学附属神经心理学诊所的大学生（n = 55）、中年人（n = 30）和老年人（n = 99），他们接受了简短的测试。测试后，被试（n = 184）和主考官（n = 12）都完成了关于人际互动性质的项目。验证性因子分析表明，在考生版本和考官版本中都发现了一个由9个项目组成的双因素模型。在Barnett Rapport Questionnaire -2 （BRQ-2）总分上，主考版和考生版均未发现年龄队列差异；然而，老年人比年轻人更赞同积极词汇，而考官对年轻成人考生的消极词汇的认可程度高于老年成人考生。没有发现性别或种族/民族之间的差异。BRQ-2承诺在神经心理学评估的背景下更好的可用性和改进的心理测量质量来测量融洽关系。
