背景:混乱,Hubbub,和顺序量表(英文版的CHAOS)最初是由Matheny等人在美国开发的(从混乱中带来秩序:混乱的心理测量特征,Hubbub,和订单规模。应用发展心理学杂志16(3):429-444,1995)测量家庭环境中的混乱,以混乱为特征,缺乏例行公事,和组织。
目的:为了提供内容效度的证据,内部结构效度,和有效性基于与外部测量的关系,将CHAOS改编为巴西葡萄牙语,并在圣保罗-巴西的青少年样本。
方法:研究1涉及将量表翻译/回译和改编为巴西葡萄牙语[此处命名为“EscaladeConfusão,AlvoroçoeOrdemnoSistemafamiliar\“(CAOS)],5名法官。在研究2中,我们进行了探索性因素分析(EFA)以确定量表的因素结构(N=180个成年人)。在研究3中,我们进行了验证性因子分析(CFA)以确认量表的内部效度,以及完整的结构方程模型,以探索另一个样本(N=239名青少年)的收敛效度。
结果:CAOS量表显示内容效度,EFA和CFA显示出具有可接受的拟合度的单因子结构(有一些尺度调整)。家庭混乱的潜在因素与青少年的外化症状和感知压力有关。
结论:总体而言,巴西版本的量表提供了构建的证据,内部,和并发有效性,表明它在巴西的有用性。
BACKGROUND: The Confusion, Hubbub, and Order Scale (
CHAOS in English Version) was originally developed in the USA by Matheny et al (Bringing order out of
chaos: psychometric characteristics of the confusion, hubbub, and order scale. Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology 16(3):429-444, 1995) to measure
chaos in the family environment, characterized by confusion, lack of routine, and organization.
OBJECTIVE: To present evidence of content validity, internal structure validity, and validity based on relationships with external measures of an adapted version of the
CHAOS into Brasilian Portuguese with adolescents sample in São Paulo - Brasil.
METHODS: Study 1 involved the translation/back-translation and adaptation of the scale into Brazilian Portuguese [here named \"Escala de Confusão, Alvoroço e Ordem no Sistema familiar\" (CAOS)], assessed by 5 judges. In Study 2, we conducted an exploratory factor analyses (EFA) to determine the scale\'s factor structure (N = 180 adults). In Study 3, we carried out confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) to confirm the internal validity of the scale, along with complete structural equation modeling to explore convergent validity in another sample (N = 239 adolescents).
RESULTS: The CAOS scale displayed content validity, and the EFA and CFA showed a unifactorial structure (with some scale adjustments) with an acceptable fit. The family
chaos latent factor was associated with externalizing symptoms and perceived stress in adolescents.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the Brazilian version of the scale presented evidence of construct, internal, and concurrent validity that indicate its usefulness in Brazil.
