Abstract

The Adult Prosocialness Behavior Scale (APBS) is most often used to measure adult prosociality. We conducted a reliability generalization meta-analysis to compute the average APBS reliability and examine the heterogeneity among reliability estimations and the influence of moderator variables. An exhaustive search identified 74 articles that applied the APBS with 16 items assessed on a 5-point Likert-type scale. Of these, 58 had reliability coefficients with the current data, and 76 reliability estimates were provided. Random- and mixed-effects models were used. The average reliability coefficient was .903 for Cronbach’s alpha, .896 for McDonald’s omega, and .674 for test–retest. Moderator analyses were used to create a predictive model in which the target population and study language accounted for 48.7% of the total variability among Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. Although the APBS has shown satisfactory internal consistency, it can vary as a function of several factors.

成人色情行为量表：一项可靠性综合荟萃分析

成人亲社会行为量表(APBS)是衡量成人亲社会行为最常用的量表。我们进行了信度概化元分析，计算了APBS的平均信度，并检验了信度估计之间的异质性和调节变量的影响。经过详尽的搜索，确定了74篇适用APBS的文章，其中16个项目按5分李克特量表进行了评估。其中，58个具有当前数据的信度系数，76个提供了信度估计。采用随机和混合效应模型。Cronbach’s alpha的平均信度系数为0.903,McDonald’s omega的平均信度系数为0.896，重测的平均信度系数为0.674。使用调节因子分析建立预测模型，其中目标人群和学习语言占Cronbach α系数总变异性的48.7%。虽然APBS已显示出令人满意的内部一致性，但它可能因几个因素而变化。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Behavioral Development is the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development, which exists to promote the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about developmental processes at all stages of the life span - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. The Journal is already the leading international outlet devoted to reporting interdisciplinary research on behavioural development, and has now, in response to the rapidly developing fields of behavioural genetics, neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, expanded its scope to these and other related new domains of scholarship. In this way, it provides a truly world-wide platform for researchers which can facilitate a greater integrated lifespan perspective. In addition to original empirical research, the Journal also publishes theoretical and review papers, methodological papers, and other work of scientific interest that represents a significant advance in the understanding of any aspect of behavioural development. The Journal also publishes papers on behaviour development research within or across particular geographical regions. Papers are therefore considered from a wide range of disciplines, covering all aspects of the lifespan. Articles on topics of eminent current interest, such as research on the later life phases, biological processes in behaviour development, cross-national, and cross-cultural issues, and interdisciplinary research in general, are particularly welcome.
