青年・成人用感覚チェックリストの開発—妥当性と信頼性の検討

Development of the Sensory Modulation Questionnaire for Adolescents/Adults: A study of reliability and validity

要旨：本研究の目的は，青年・成人用感覚チェックリストの開発のため，構成概念妥当性，判別的妥当性，信頼性を検討することである．17〜59歳の定型発達者681名の「青年・成人用感覚チェックリスト（試案版，91項目）」のデータを因子分析し，因子負荷量，Cronbachのα係数などを検討した．その結果，本質問紙は，前庭感覚2因子9項目，触覚3因子11項目，固有受容感覚2因子8項目，聴覚3因子11項目，視覚2因子8項目，味覚・嗅覚3因子8項目，合計55項目から構成された．さらに，自閉スペクトラム症群58名と年齢・性別をマッチングした定型発達群を比較し，判別的妥当性についても確認した．

　The purpose of this study was to examine the constructive validity, discriminant validity (clinical usefulness) and reliability the Sensory Modulation Questionnaire for Adolescents/Adults. In this study, 91 items of the tentative version of Sensory Modulation Questionnaire for Adolescents/Adults were used. Factor analysis examined 681 typically developed people between 17 and 59 years old using factor loading and Cronbach's alpha coefficient, resulting in this questionnaire being composed of 55 items including vestibular sensation (2 factors, 9 items), tactile sensation (3 factors, 11 items), proprioceptive sensation (2 factors, 8 items), auditory sensation (3 factors, 11 items), visual sensation (2 factors, 8 items), and taste or olfactory sensation (3 factors, 8 items). In addition, the clinical usefulness of this questionnaire was determined by comparing 58 people with Autism Spectrum Disorder with 58 typically developed people matched for age and sex.
