Abstract

The Ekman 60-Faces Test is widely used to assess facial emotion recognition, but information on its validity and reliability is scarce. This systematic review evaluated the reporting of psychometric properties across clinical populations. A total of 159 studies (n = 5978) were included: case-control (n = 109), single cohort (n = 37) and review/norm studies (n = 13). Data were extracted on the reporting of structural validity, internal consistency, measurement invariance, test-retest reliability, criterion validity and construct validity. A meta-analysis was performed, assessing effect sizes (Hedges' d) to summarize differences in performance on the Ekman 60-Faces Test in different categories of clinical groups compared with control participants. Results showed that the majority of studies used the validated version by Young et al. (2002; 42%). Fewer than 10% of the studies addressed criterion validity, internal consistency, measurement invariance, structural validity or test-retest reliability. Associations with demographic variables were reported in 23% of studies. Meta-analysis revealed significantly larger effects in neurodegenerative populations (d = -1.09) than in psychiatric (d = -.70, Q_m = 5.06, p < .05) and acquired brain injury (d = -.78, Q_m = 5.45, p < .05) populations.

Ekman 60-Faces测试在临床人群中的心理测量特性：系统回顾和荟萃分析。

Ekman 60-Faces Test被广泛用于评估面部情绪识别，但关于其效度和信度的信息很少。本系统综述评估了临床人群中心理测量特性的报告。共纳入159项研究（n = 5978）：病例对照研究（n = 109）、单队列研究（n = 37）和综述/规范研究（n = 13）。从结构效度、内部一致性、测量不变性、重测信度、标准效度和结构效度的报告中提取数据。进行了荟萃分析，评估效应大小（Hedges' d），以总结不同类别临床组与对照组相比在Ekman 60-Faces Test中的表现差异。结果显示，大多数研究使用Young等人（2002;42%）的验证版本。不到10%的研究涉及标准效度、内部一致性、测量不变性、结构效度或重测信度。23%的研究报告了与人口统计学变量的关联。荟萃分析显示，神经退行性人群的影响（d = -1.09）明显大于精神病学人群(d = - 0.70, Qm = 5.06, p m = 5.45, p

期刊介绍： The Journal of Neuropsychology publishes original contributions to scientific knowledge in neuropsychology including: • clinical and research studies with neurological, psychiatric and psychological patient populations in all age groups • behavioural or pharmacological treatment regimes • cognitive experimentation and neuroimaging • multidisciplinary approach embracing areas such as developmental psychology, neurology, psychiatry, physiology, endocrinology, pharmacology and imaging science The following types of paper are invited: • papers reporting original empirical investigations • theoretical papers; provided that these are sufficiently related to empirical data • review articles, which need not be exhaustive, but which should give an interpretation of the state of research in a given field and, where appropriate, identify its clinical implications • brief reports and comments • case reports • fast-track papers (included in the issue following acceptation) reaction and rebuttals (short reactions to publications in JNP followed by an invited rebuttal of the original authors) • special issues.
