Objectives To investigate the validity of the Chinese version of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional, Second Edition (ASQ:SE-2) for toddlers aged 12 to 35 months, so as to provide an appropriate assessment tool for the early social-emotion development of children.
Methods From 22nd May to 29th October 2020, a total of 560 children aged 12 to 35 months were selected from Children's Hospital of Shanghai, Huangpu, Jing'an, Hongkou and Jiading Districts Maternal and Child Healthcare Center of Shanghai and child health care department of several community health service centers.The questionnaires for 12-, 18-,24-, 30- and 36-month-old toddlers in Chinese version of ASQ:SE-2 covering children aged 12 - 35 months were used, and the Chinese Infant-Toddler Social & Emotional Assessment (CITSEA) were used as validation criteria.
Results The questionnaires for 12-, 18-,24-, 30- and 36-month-old toddlers in ASQ:SE-2 had good validity, significant correlations of the social, emotional, social-emotional scores and total scores of ASQ:SE-2 with the scores of the externalizing domain, the internalizing domain, the dysregulation domain and the competence domain of CITSEA were found (
r=0.31 - 0.72, 0.19 - 0.70, 0.23 - 0.75, -0.74 - -0.42,
P<0.05).And the correlation coefficient
r between the factors of the two scales in the total sample ranged from |0.40| to |0.61| (
P<0.01).When samples above the cut-off scores was identified as social-emotional delay, the sensitivity and specificity of ASQ:SE-2 was 60.48% and 95.41%, respectively, and the percentage of the agreement between the ASQ:SE-2 and the CITSEA was 87.68%.When samples in the monitoring zone was identified as social-emotional delay, the sensitivity and specificity of ASQ:SE-2 was 76.61% and 82.80%, respectively, and the percentage of the agreement between the ASQ:SE-2 and the CITSEA was 81.43%.Exploratory factor analysis of ASQ:SE-2 showed that the factor loading of social, emotional, social-emotional scores and total scores of the questionnaires for 12-, 18-,24-, 30- and 36-month-old children ranged from 0.84 to 0.99.
Conclusions ASQ:SE-2 has good validity and can be used to screen and monitor social and emotional behavior development of children in mainland China.
