Abstract

This study analyzed the psychometric properties of a Chinese version of the teacher-reported Devereux Early Childhood Assessment, Second Edition (DECA-P2) using a sample of 246 children aged between 2 and 6 years old. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine its construct validity. Reliability was evaluated based on the internal consistency of the scale items, as well as discriminant and convergent validities were assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The findings provide emerging evidence of a four-factor structure (i.e., attachment, initiative, self-regulation, and behavioral concern) and support the use of this Chinese DECA-P2 as a screening instrument to identify social-emotional strengths and behavioral problems among Chinese preschool children. The limitations of this study and its implications concerning the dimensionality of the Chinese DECA-P2 for future research are discussed.

Devereux幼儿评估第二版(DECA-P2)汉译本的构建与验证
本研究以246名2 - 6岁儿童为样本,分析了德文幼儿评估第二版中文版(DECA-P2)的心理测量特征。采用验证性因子分析检验其构念效度。信度评估基于量表项目的内部一致性,判别效度和收敛效度评估使用优势和困难问卷。本研究结果为四因素结构(即依恋、主动性、自我调节和行为关注)提供了新的证据,并支持使用中国DECA-P2作为筛选工具来识别中国学龄前儿童的社会情感优势和行为问题。讨论了本研究的局限性及其对未来中国DECA-P2维度研究的启示。
