AI总结:
本研究通过二次分析和验证性主成分分析检验SMFQ与RCADS分量表在儿童-机器人交互中的信效度,发现机器人传达量表拟合优于自我报告,并指出需修订的题项领域。
摘要:
儿童-机器人交互(CRI)的跨学科性质促进了对许多成熟领域测量方法和方法论的吸纳。然而,在将CRI方法用于健康与幸福感等敏感方向时,必须谨慎调整测量指标,以保留其安全标准并确保准确使用。在本研究中,我们对既往实证工作进行了二次分析,考察在CRI环境中用于心理健康幸福感评估的成熟心理问卷的信度和结构效度,包括Short Moods and Feelings Questionnaire(SMFQ,简版情绪与感受问卷)以及Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale(RCADS,修订版儿童焦虑与抑郁量表)的三个分量表(广泛性焦虑、惊恐和低落情绪)。通过验证性主成分分析,我们观察到这些测量工具在CRI情境下是可靠且有效的。此外,分析显示,由机器人传达量表时比自我报告时表现出更好的拟合度,突显了在这些情境中机器人介导的心理评估的效率和有效性。尽管如此,我们还观察到各题项对主因子的贡献存在差异,这表明其在CRI中使用时存在潜在的检查和修订领域(例如与生理变化、不活动和认知需求有关的内容)。本研究结果强调了在CRI环境中使用标准化指标和评估工具时验证其信度和效度的重要性,从而旨在避免任何误解和错误呈现。
英文摘要:
The interdisciplinary nature of Child-Robot Interaction (CRI) fosters incorporating measures and methodologies from many established domains. However, when employing CRI approaches to sensitive avenues of health and wellbeing, caution is critical in adapting metrics to retain their safety standards and ensure accurate utilisation. In this work, we conducted a secondary analysis to previous empirical work, investigating the reliability and construct validity of established psychological questionnaires such as the Short Moods and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ) and three subscales (generalised anxiety, panic and low mood) of the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS) within a CRI setting for the assessment of mental wellbeing. Through confirmatory principal component analysis, we have observed that these measures are reliable and valid in the context of CRI. Furthermore, our analysis revealed that scales communicated by a robot demonstrated a better fit than when self-reported, underscoring the efficiency and effectiveness of robot-mediated psychological assessments in these settings. Nevertheless, we have also observed variations in item contributions to the main factor, suggesting potential areas of examination and revision (e.g., relating to physiological changes, inactivity and cognitive demands) when used in CRI. Findings from this work highlight the importance of verifying the reliability and validity of standardised metrics and assessment tools when employed in CRI settings, thus, aiming to avoid any misinterpretations and misrepresentations.
