Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We comprehensively compared all available such questionnaires in 3147 non-clinical and 60 clinical subjects, based on test-retest reliability, internal consistency reliability and construct validity at both item and scale levels. We examined four full-length forms, the Subthreshold Autism Trait Questionnaire (SATQ), Broader Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (BAPQ), Social Responsiveness Scale2-Adult Self report (SRS2-AS) and the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ). The SRS2-AS and the AQ each had short forms that we also examined, bringing the total to 11 forms. Though all the QAT questionnaires showed acceptable levels of test-retest reliability and expected sex differences, many of them do not have strong psychometric properties. Particularly, the AQ and SRS2-AS, including their short forms, have poor internal consistency and discriminant validity, respectively. Instead, use of the SATQ is best recommended to measure QAT in terms of classical test theory and its short length.
