Data_Sheet_1_Reliability and validity of the repetitive behavior scale-revised for young Chinese children with autism spectrum disorder in Jiangxi Province.PDF

Restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) are one of the two main diagnostic features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To date, a growing body of research on RRB in children with ASD has recently attracted academic attention. The Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R) was primarily intended for use in evaluating RRBs observed in ASD. This study recruited 381 Chinese children with ASD aged 2–4 years to measure the reliability and validity of the RBS-R. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was applied to the structuring models of the four proposed structural models, indicating that a 6-factor model demonstrated good internal consistency and the best fit based on common overall fit indices. These findings suggest the utility of the Chinese version of RBS-R.

重复刻板行为（Restricted and repetitive behaviors, RRBs）是孤独症谱系障碍（autism spectrum disorder, ASD）两大核心诊断特征之一。迄今为止，针对孤独症谱系障碍儿童重复刻板行为的研究日益增多，逐渐受到学界关注。修订版重复行为量表（Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised, RBS-R）最初专为评估孤独症谱系障碍患者的重复刻板行为而设计。本研究招募了381名2~4岁的中国孤独症谱系障碍儿童，以检验该量表的信效度。研究采用验证性因子分析（Confirmatory factor analysis, CFA）对四种拟议的结构模型进行拟合检验，结果显示六因子模型具有良好的内部一致性，且基于常用整体拟合指标来看拟合效果最优。上述研究结果证实了修订版重复行为量表中文版本的应用价值。
