Abstract

This study investigated the factor structure and determined the reliability and validity of the Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire–Japanese version (CAT-Q-J) among 204 autistic and 410 non-autistic people. Since a confirmatory factor analysis revealed no factor validity of the CAT-Q-J for both autistic and non-autistic adults, an exploratory factor analysis was conducted to ensure the psychometric properties matched those of the original scale as much as possible. The results showed the CAT-Q-J comprised three subscales, a four-item compensation subscale, a five-item masking scale, and a five-item assimilation subscale. The overall CAT-Q-J and all three subscales showed sufficient internal consistency and moderate-to-good and stable test–retest reliability in both the autistic and non-autistic samples. Convergent validity was also supported by the correlations found with measures of autistic traits, well-being, anxiety, and depression. Different from the original CAT-Q, compensation/masking for the autistic sample was not correlated with mental health or autistic traits. The reliability and the validity of the overall CAT-Q-J were confirmed; however, caution should be exercised when interpreting its subscales.

日语版伪装自闭症特征问卷的可靠性和有效性。
本研究调查了 204 名自闭症患者和 410 名非自闭症患者的自闭症特征伪装问卷-日语版(CAT-Q-J)的因子结构,并确定了其信度和效度。由于确认性因子分析显示 CAT-Q-J 在自闭症和非自闭症成人中都不具有因子有效性,因此进行了探索性因子分析,以确保心理测量特性尽可能与原始量表相匹配。结果显示,CAT-Q-J 包括三个分量表,分别是四个项目的补偿分量表、五个项目的遮蔽分量表和五个项目的同化分量表。无论是在自闭症样本还是非自闭症样本中,CAT-Q-J 和所有三个分量表都显示出足够的内部一致性和中度到良好且稳定的重测可靠性。与自闭症特征、幸福感、焦虑和抑郁的测量结果之间的相关性也证明了其收敛有效性。与最初的 CAT-Q 不同的是,自闭症样本的补偿/掩蔽与心理健康或自闭症特征无关。CAT-Q-J总体的可靠性和有效性得到了证实;但是,在解释其分量表时应谨慎。
