The Dutch Sensory Gating Inventory (D-SGI)

The Sensory Gating Inventory (SGI) is an established self-report questionnaire that is used to assess the capacity to filter redundant or irrelevant environmental stimuli. Translation and cross-cultural validation of the SGI are necessary to make this tool available for Dutch speaking environments. This study therefore aimed to (1) design a Dutch Sensory Gating Inventory (i.e., D-SGI) and to (2) validate the D-SGI. A forward-backward translation was performed and 469 native Dutch speakers filled in the questionnaire. A confirmatory factor analysis assessed the psychometric properties the D-SGI and to measure test re-test reliability. Results confirmed satisfactory similarity of psychometric properties for the factor structure of the D-SGI to the original English SGI. Similarly, the internal consistency and discriminant validity were ratified. Test-retest reliability also indicated good results. These findings confirm that despite some noteworthy differences, the D-SGI is a psychometrically sound self-report measure to assess sensory gating in the Dutch population.

感觉门控量表（Sensory Gating Inventory, SGI）是一款成熟的自报告问卷，用于评估个体过滤冗余或无关环境刺激的能力。为使该工具可应用于荷兰语使用场景，对SGI进行翻译及跨文化效度验证是必要的。因此本研究旨在（1）编制荷兰语版感觉门控量表（即D-SGI），以及（2）对D-SGI进行效度验证。本研究采用正向-反向翻译流程，共招募469名荷兰语母语者完成问卷填写。通过验证性因子分析评估D-SGI的心理测量学属性，并检测其重测信度。结果显示，D-SGI的因子结构心理测量学属性与原版英文SGI具有令人满意的相似性。同样，其内部一致性与区分效度均得到了确认。重测信度同样表现良好。上述研究结果证实，尽管存在部分值得关注的差异，D-SGI仍是一款心理测量学性能优良的自报告测评工具，可用于评估荷兰人群的感觉门控能力。
