The Neurodiversity Attitudes Questionnaire: Development and Initial Validation / Rachel K. SCHUCK in Autism, 28-11 (November 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 28-11 (November 2024) . - p.2821 - 2833 Titre : The Neurodiversity Attitudes Questionnaire: Development and Initial Validation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rachel K. SCHUCK, Auteur ; Sunghee CHOI, Auteur ; Kaitlynn MP BAIDEN, Auteur ; Patrick DWYER, Auteur ; Mirko ULJAREVI?, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2821 - 2833 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : attitudes  helping professionals  instrument development  neurodiversity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Neurodiversity refers to the idea that all brains-no matter their differences-are valuable and should be accepted. Attitudes toward the neurodiversity perspective can have real-life impacts on the lives of neurodivergent people, from effects on daily interactions to how professionals deliver services for neurodivergent individuals. In order to identify negative attitudes toward neurodiversity and potentially intervene to improve them, we first need to measure these attitudes. This article describes the development and initial validation of the Neurodiversity Attitudes Questionnaire (NDAQ), including item revision based on expert review, cognitive interviews, systematic evaluation of participants' response process, and analysis of the instrument?s internal factor structure using exploratory structural equation modeling. Pilot analysis with 351 individuals mostly living in the United States who were currently working in or intending to pursue helping professions indicates that the NDAQ has construct validity, is well understood by participants, and fits a five-factor structure. While the NDAQ represents the first instrument designed to specifically assess attitudes toward the neurodiversity perspective, further validation work is still needed. Lay Abstract Neurodiversity refers to the idea that brain differences (including disabilities) are valuable and should be accepted. Attitudes toward neurodiversity can have real-life impacts on the lives of neurodivergent people (those whose brains do not fit society?s "standard"). These impacts can include effects on daily interactions, as well as how professionals such as teachers and doctors deliver services to neurodivergent people. In order to identify negative attitudes toward neurodiversity and potentially improve them, we first need to measure these attitudes. This article describes the development of the Neurodiversity Attitudes Questionnaire (NDAQ). NDAQ development included revision of questionnaire items based on feedback from experts and neurodivergent people, systematically evaluating the way participants responded to questionnaire items, and analysis of how the NDAQ items are grouped into different factors. A preliminary analysis with 351 individuals mostly living in the United States who were currently working or planning to work in a helping profession (e.g. doctors, teachers, therapists, and so on) indicates that the NDAQ measures attitudes toward neurodiversity, is well understood by participants, and fits a five-factor structure. While the NDAQ represents the first instrument designed to specifically assess attitudes toward the broad idea of neurodiversity, further work is still needed.

Using qualitative methods to guide scale development for anxiety in youth with autism spectrum disorder / Karen E. BEARSS in Autism, 20-6 (August 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-6 (August 2016) . - p.663-672 Titre : Using qualitative methods to guide scale development for anxiety in youth with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Karen E. BEARSS, Auteur ; Christopher A TAYLOR, Auteur ; Michael G. AMAN, Auteur ; Robin WHITTEMORE, Auteur ; Luc LECAVALIER, Auteur ; Judith MILLER, Auteur ; Jill PRITCHETT, Auteur ; Bryson GREEN, Auteur ; Lawrence SCAHILL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.663-672 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : anxiety  autism spectrum disorder  content validity  focus group  instrument development  qualitative methods Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Anxiety is common in youth with autism spectrum disorder. Despite this common co-occurrence, studies targeting anxiety in this population are hindered by the under-developed state of measures in youth with autism spectrum disorder. Content validity (the extent to which an instrument measures the domain of interest) and an instrument’s relevance to the patient population are key components of measurement development. This article describes the application of qualitative research methods in the initial development of a parent-rated instrument of anxiety symptoms in youth with autism spectrum disorder. Overall, 48 parents of 45 children (aged 3–17?years) with autism spectrum disorder and at least mild anxiety participated in one of six focus groups at two sites (three groups per site). Systematic coding of the focus group transcripts identified broad themes reflecting the situations and events that trigger anxiety in children with autism spectrum disorder, the behavioral manifestations of anxiety in children with autism spectrum disorder, the parent and the child’s own response to anxiety, and broad behavioral patterns that could be associated with anxiety. From the focus group data, investigators generated 52 candidate items for a parent-rating of anxiety in youth with autism spectrum disorder. This report provides a detailed description of these early steps in developing a patient-oriented outcome measure.

Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the Hansen Research Services Matrix Adaptive Test: A Measure of Nonverbal IQ / J. A. HANSEN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-7 (July 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 49-7 (July 2019) . - p.2721-2732 Titre : Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the Hansen Research Services Matrix Adaptive Test: A Measure of Nonverbal IQ Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : J.

One such measure is the Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM). For large research studies with participants distributed nationally it is desirable for assessments to be available online. Because time is a premium, it is ideal that the measure produces accurate scores quickly. The Hansen Research Services Matrix Adaptive Test (HRS-MAT) addresses these needs and with similar psychometric properties of the RSPM. Scores based on the HRS-MAT correlated at r = .81 with those of the RSPM. In adult-child pairs, HRS-MAT scores correlated at approximately r = .50. Details from respondents in a national sample and psychometric properties including reliability and validity are discussed.

Measuring Social Motivation in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Development of the Social Motivation Interview / Rebecca ELIAS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-3 (March 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-3 (March 2020) . - p.798-811 Titre : Measuring Social Motivation in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Development of the Social Motivation Interview Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rebecca ELIAS, Auteur ; Susan W. WHITE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.798-811 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Assessment  Autism spectrum disorder  Instrument development  Social motivation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Social motivation in individuals with ASD is inferred from the observation of overt behaviors and neurological correlates. Motivation, however, can be distinguishable from overt behavior and neurologic reactivity. Nevertheless, few studies have examined the cognitive processes that may influence goal-directed tasks involved in social interaction. This study addressed this conceptual need by developing a novel interview. The social motivation interview (SMI) assesses for internal cognitions as they relate to social motivation by evaluating social desire, interest, and behaviors in eighteen children with ASD (M years = 12.84). Pilot testing suggested feasibility of administration, user satisfaction, and promising psychometric properties. Future examination of the SMI in large-scale field testing is warranted.
