Abstract

The study and measurement of alexithymia - a trait marked by difficulty identifying and describing feelings - can be improved by incorporating objective measures to supplement self-report scales. The Alexithymia Provoked Response Questionnaire (APRQ) is an observer-rated alexithymia tool that shows promise yet can be time-consuming to administer. The present study aimed to assess the feasibility of computer administration and scoring of the APRQ. Further, the APRQ's association with verbal IQ and emotional vocabulary use was examined, as was the relationship between the APRQ and the self-report Bermond-Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire-B (BVAQ-B). Adult participants (n = 366), including a proportion gathered through purposive sampling, participated in an online study. Inter-rater reliability measures indicated that computerized scoring of the APRQ is as reliable as human scoring, making the measure scalable for use with large samples. Alexithymia levels were independent of two measures of verbal IQ. Correlational analyses indicated overlap in alexithymia as measured by the APRQ and most of the subscales of the BVAQ-B. The APRQ, as an objective measure, may capture deficits in emotional awareness independent of self-insight.

通过在线样本使用计算机评分的亚历癔症诱发反应问卷改进亚历癔症的客观测量。
情感障碍是一种以难以识别和描述情感为特征的心理疾病,通过采用客观的测量方法来补充自我报告量表,可以改善对情感障碍的研究和测量。亚历怯症诱发反应问卷(APRQ)是一种由观察者评分的亚历怯症工具,该工具显示出良好的前景,但在实施过程中可能会耗费大量时间。本研究旨在评估计算机管理和评分 APRQ 的可行性。此外,研究还考察了 APRQ 与言语智商和情感词汇使用之间的关联,以及 APRQ 与自我报告的 Bermond-Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire-B (BVAQ-B) 之间的关系。成人参与者(n = 366)参加了在线研究,其中一部分是通过有目的的抽样收集的。评分者之间的可靠性测量结果表明,APRQ 的计算机评分与人工评分一样可靠,因此该测量方法可在大量样本中推广使用。Alexithymia 的水平与两种言语智商测量结果无关。相关分析表明,APRQ 和 BVAQ-B 的大部分分量表所测量的情感障碍存在重叠。APRQ 作为一种客观测量方法,可以捕捉到独立于自我洞察力的情感意识缺陷。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Personality Assessment (JPA) primarily publishes articles dealing with the development, evaluation, refinement, and application of personality assessment methods. Desirable articles address empirical, theoretical, instructional, or professional aspects of using psychological tests, interview data, or the applied clinical assessment process. They also advance the measurement, description, or understanding of personality, psychopathology, and human behavior. JPA is broadly concerned with developing and using personality assessment methods in clinical, counseling, forensic, and health psychology settings; with the assessment process in applied clinical practice; with the assessment of people of all ages and cultures; and with both normal and abnormal personality functioning.
