Abstract

Harmonizing the scores obtained by different instruments that measure the same construct enable researchers to combine them in one analysis. An important step in harmonization is checking whether there is measurement invariance across populations. This study aimed to examine whether the harmonized scores for anxiety/depression and ADHD obtained by two different instruments (the Child Behaviour Check List (CBCL) and the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)) are measurement invariant across other countries, languages, and age groups. We used cohorts from Australia (1330 children aged 10-11.5 years), the Netherlands (943 children aged 11-13.5 years) and the United Kingdom (4504 children aged 14-19). We used the Bayesian method for modeling measurement non-invariance proposed by Verhagen and Fox, 2013a that we adapted for using on polytomous items and in a relatively small number of groups (cohorts). Results showed that there is hardly any differential functioning of harmonized anxiety/depression and ADHD scores obtained by CBCL and SDQ across cohorts. The same model that harmonizes measures in Australian 10-year-old children can also be used in cohorts from the UK and the Netherlands.

SDQ和ASEBA表型的协调：跨队列的测量方差。

将测量同一结构的不同工具获得的分数协调起来，使研究人员能够将它们合并在一个分析中。协调的一个重要步骤是检查种群之间是否存在测量不变性。本研究旨在检验两种不同工具（儿童行为检查表（CBCL）和力量与困难问卷（SDQ））获得的焦虑/抑郁和ADHD的统一分数是否在其他国家、语言和年龄组中具有测量不变性。我们使用来自澳大利亚（1330名10-11.5岁的儿童）、荷兰（943名11-13.5岁的儿童）和英国（4504名14-19岁的儿童）的队列。我们使用了Verhagen和Fox（2013）提出的贝叶斯方法来建模测量非不变性，该方法适用于多同构项目和相对较少的群体（队列）。结果显示，通过CBCL和SDQ获得的统一焦虑/抑郁和ADHD评分在队列中几乎没有任何差异。协调澳大利亚10岁儿童的措施的相同模式也可以用于英国和荷兰的队列。补充信息：在线版本包含补充资料，可在10.1007/s10862-025-10204-0获得。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment publishes articles reporting research investigations and clinical case summaries which enhance understanding of psychopathology and mental disorders applicable to all ages, deviant or abnormal behaviors, including those related to medical conditions and trauma, and constructs descriptive of personality. The Journal fosters scientific inquiry into assessment, description, and classification of normal and abnormal behaviors, psychobiological factors predisposing, precipitating, and maintaining psychopathology, and theories of psychopathology and behavior change. Studies of normal personality constructs and positive person attributes, person and environment factors influencing behavioral outcomes, and interactive models of cognitive, emotional, and behavior resource factors as impacting normal and abnormal behaviors are encouraged. Within Journal purview are articles focusing on therapeutic interventions, technical notes on instrumentation and assessment methodology, and reviews of recently-published books.
