Abstract

There is little evidence on cognitions that are associated with emotional and behavioral problems in preschoolers during stressful events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This article presents the initial development and validation of a caregiver-report instrument, the Preschooler Stressor-related Thoughts and Worries (PSTW) scale, developed during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, caregivers from two countries reported on their child's cognitions at baseline (T0) and three months later (T1;age 3-5 years;Australia: N = 559;United States: N = 346). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted with the Australian sample at T0 and confirmed with the U.S. sample at T0. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a one-factor model including 10 items. Results of the confirmatory factor analysis failed to clearly support this structure (comparative fit index = .91, root mean square error of approximation = .11). Construct validity was supported by positive associations between PSTW scores and emotional and behavioral problems. Although the PSTW is a promising instrument to assess preschooler cognitions related to COVID-19, further investigation of its performance in other contexts (e.g., other countries, other stressful or traumatic events) is needed.

COVID-19大流行期间学龄前儿童压力相关想法和担忧的补充材料:护理人员报告工具的开发和验证

几乎没有证据表明，在COVID-19大流行等压力事件中，学龄前儿童的认知与情绪和行为问题有关。本文介绍了在COVID-19大流行期间开发的照顾者报告工具-学龄前儿童压力相关思想和担忧(PSTW)量表的初步开发和验证。2020年，来自两个国家的护理人员报告了他们的孩子在基线(0岁)和3个月后(1岁;3-5岁;澳大利亚:N = 559;美国:N = 346)的认知。探索性因子分析(EFA)在T0时对澳大利亚样本进行，并在T0时对美国样本进行确认。探索性因子分析建议采用包含10个项目的单因素模型。验证性因子分析结果未能明确支持这一结构(比较拟合指数= 0.91，近似均方根误差= 0.11)。建构效度在PSTW得分与情绪和行为问题之间存在正相关。虽然PSTW是评估与COVID-19相关的学龄前儿童认知的一种很有前景的工具，但需要进一步调查其在其他情况下(例如，其他国家、其他压力或创伤事件)的表现。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2022 APA，版权所有)
