Abstract

Objective To revise the Sensitivity to Punishment and Sensitivity to Reward Questionnaire (SPSRQ), and to evaluate its validity and reliability in Chinese adolescents. Methods Standard forward-backward translation procedure, cross-cultural adaptation and pilot test were used in the translation of the SPSRQ.From Jan.17th to Sept.30th in 2022,totally 1 350 adolescents were tested by random sampling and grade stratified sampling. The data were classified into two groups, data of one group were used to conduct exploratory factor analysis and item analysis, and data of the other group were used to conduct confirmatory factor analysis, criterion validity test and reliability test. Results The Chinese version of SPSRQ-A contained two dimensions of reward sensitivity and punishment sensitivity, with 16 items in reward sensitivity and 21 items in punishment sensitivity, whose cumulative contribution of variance accounted for 54.321% of total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fitting indexes met the statistical standard (χ²/df=3.156, RMSEA=0.059, SRMR=0.0617, CFI=0.906, NNFI=0.900). Item-content validity index(I-CVI) was 0.800 - 1.000, and scale-content validity index/average(S-CVI/Ave) was 0.970. There was significant correlation between the scores of two dimensions and the scores of two criterion scales (r=-0.453 - 0.604, P<0.001). The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale and each dimension ranged from 0.883 to 0.953, the split-half reliability coefficient of the scale was 0.887. Conclusion The Chinese version of SPSRQ-A shows good reliability and validity, which can be used as an effective tool to evaluate the reinforcement sensitivity of Chinese adolescents.
