背景與研究目的：信效度良好的評量工具在臨床治療中扮演極為重要的角色。『ASEBA成人量表－成人自填問卷和成人行為檢核表』兼具客觀觀察及主觀自評優點，能測量成人的適應功能及精神病理學特徵問題（包含行為、情緒、社會問題），且已廣泛的被運用於多國的臨床和研究上。本研究目的有二：一為進行『ASEBA成人量表－成人自填問卷和成人行為檢核表』中文化；二為檢驗ASEBA成人量表中文版之再測信度、內在一致性、同時效度、及區辨效度。

方法：
研究樣本:本研究分為常人組及病患組（泛精神疾病患者，需經精神科專科醫師診斷，且接受規律治療），每組包含受測者及受測者親友（家屬、朋友、治療師等），樣本數總計112對。將由南台灣便利取樣。收案標準為年齡18至59歲，且教育程度為國小以上畢業具基本閱讀能力者。
中文化流程:檢驗文化差異專家和翻譯人員的資格如下：居住於英語系國家一年以上經驗，可流暢使用中英文，且為醫療相關科系大學以上畢業者。中文化過程依序進行文化差異檢驗、直譯、回譯、與前測。
信效度驗證流程: 受測者及受測者親友進行完整填答(成人自填問卷、成人行為檢核表、適應行為評量ABAS-II、症狀量表SCL-90-R)，並於一週後進行再測。

結果：中文版『ASEBA成人量表：成人自填問卷(ASR)和成人行為檢核表(ABCL)』的一週再測信度及內在一致性，具有顯著相關。中文版『成人自填問卷(ASR)』「症狀分量表」及「DSM導向分量表」上，與『症狀量表(SCL-90-R)』的同時效度也達統計上的顯著相關。「適應功能分量表」部分與『適應行為評量系統第二版中文版成人版(ABAS-II)』的同時效度僅呈現中低度相關。病患組與常人組的區辨效度達統計上的顯著差異。

結論：整體而言，中文版『ASEBA成人量表：成人自填問卷(ASR)和成人行為檢核表(ABCL)』具良好的一週再測信度及內在一致性，並在中文版『成人自填問卷(ASR)』「症狀分量表」及「DSM導向分量表」上，與『症狀量表(SCL-90-R)』呈現不錯的同時效度，且具有良好的區辨效度，能有效的區分病患與常人。然而，在「適應功能分量表」部分與『適應行為評量系統第二版中文版成人版(ABAS-II)』的同時效度較差，僅呈現中低度相關。本研究樣本收案僅侷限台灣南部地區，其結果在類化上可能會受限，建議增加樣本。

Background and objectives: In clinical treatment, assessment tools with good reliability and validity are important. “ASEBA Adult Forms: The Adult Self-Report(ASR) & The Adult Behavior Checklist(ABCL)” has the strengths of the subjective and objective measurement. It can be admistrated to measure adaptive function and specific problem (including behaviour, emotional and social problems), and are widely used in clinical and research. There are two purposes of this study. One is to translate “ASEBA Adult Forms: The Adult Self-Report(ASR) & The Adult Behavior Checklist(ABCL)” into Chinese version. The other one is to exam the test-retest reliability, internal consistency, concurrent validity, discriminant validity of the Chinese version.

Methods:
Research sample: This study is divided into ordinary group and mental illness group (with mental disorders and regular treatment). There are 112 pair (participants and their significant others) of the samples included in the southern Taiwan. The sample criteria are at ages 18~59 , and with basic reading skills.
Research processes: Translation processes. The criteria of translators are as follows: 1)living in English-speaking countries more than one year, 2)using English fluently, and 3) medical graduates who graduated from the University. The translation processes including cultural translation, forward translation, backward translation, and pre-test. Validation processes. The participants and their significant others completed the Chinese version of “ASEBA Adult Forms: The Adult Self-Report(ASR) & The Adult Behavior Checklist(ABCL)”, “Adaptive Behavior Assessment System II (ABAS-II)”, and “the symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R)”. And they retested after a week.

Results: The test-retest reliability and internal consistency were statistically significant. The concurrent validities were also statistical significance between the Chinese version of ASR & ABCL and SCL-90-R. But the Chinese version of ASR & ABCL has lower correlation with ABAS-II. The discriminant validity was statistical significance.

Conclusion：In general, the Chinese version of ASR & ABCL has good test-retest reliability, internal consistency, concurrent validity, and discriminant validity. But they are low correlation with ABAS-II. However, the patients were recruited from the southen Taiwan. The results of the study might not be able to generate to all conditions. We suggested to increase sample size to include different area in future study.
