Chinese Revision of the Sensitivity to Threat and Affiliative Reward Scale (Parent Version) in Early Childhood

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2026.05.016

Abstract

Abstract: This study revised the Chinese version of the Sensitivity to Threat and Affiliative Reward Scale (STARS) for parents. Following standard psychometric procedures, it assessed parents of children aged 2~8 years old and conducted item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), criterion validity analysis, reliability testing, and measurement invariance testing across children’s gender. The results indicated that the revised STARS scale shows good internal consistency, structural validity, criterion validity, and measurement invariance. Therefore, the revised Chinese version STARS can serve as an effective tool for measuring early-childhood sensitivity to threat and affiliation in China, as well as for predicting factors related to callous-unemotional traits.

Key words: Sensitivity to Threat and Affiliative Reward Scale, early childhood, reliability, validity

摘要： 修订父母报告的中文版儿童早期威胁与亲和奖励敏感度量表(the Sensitivity to Threat and Affiliative Reward Scale, STARS)。按照量表修订流程对2～8岁儿童父母进行施测，分别进行项目分析、探索性因素分析、验证性因素分析、效标效度分析、信度检验和性别测量不变性分析。结果显示，修订后的STARS量表有着良好的内部一致性系数、结构效度、效标效度和测量不变性。修订后的STARS量表能够作为测量我国童年早期威胁与亲和敏感度，以及预测冷漠无情影响因素的有效工具。
