البناء العاملي لمقياس البروفيل الحسي المختصر (ssp) لدى الأطفال ذوي اضطراب طيف التوحد بالبيئة المصرية
The current study aims at identifying the factorial structure of The Short-Sensory Profile (SSP) in a sample of children with autism spectrum disorder, in addition to validating its competency for use in the Egyptian environment. Sample of the study consisted of 119 child with autism spectrum disorder (68 males, 51 females) with age range 3-12 (M = 6.97, SD= 2.44). The original revised brief version of The SSP (38 items) was translated. After collecting data, the profile and its dimensions (Tactile Sensitivity, Taste/ Smell Sensitivity, Movement Sensitivity, Under-responsive/ Seeks Sensation, Auditory Filtering, Low Energy/ Weak, Visual/ Auditory Sensitivity). Results show that the profile is characterized by confirmatory factory validity. Results show the goodness of fit of the standardized model of the SSP through the collected data. The scale shows construct validity (convergent and divergent). The profile proved to have good competency indexes through dimension-total score internal consistency. It also proved to have good reliability through using test-retest method and split-half of the dimensions and total score. (Published Abstract)
