The Conners' adult ADHD rating scales-Short self-report and observer forms: Psychometric properties of the catalan version Amador, Juan Antonio Gómez Benito, Juana Ramos Quiroga, Josep Antoni Trastorns per dèficit d'atenció amb hiperactivitat en els adults Psicodiagnòstic Escales d'avaluació psiquiàtrica Attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity in adults Psychodiagnostics Psychiatric rating scales Abstract Objective: To validate the Catalan adaptation of the Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scales (CAARS), short version (selfreport: CAARS-S:S; observer: CAARS-O:S). Method: A community sample of 424 adults responded to the two forms. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the dimensional structure. Results: The hypothesized four-factor model (Inattention/Memory Problems, Hyperactivity/Restlessness, Impulsivity/Emotional Lability, and Problems With Self-Concept) presented an adequate fit for the self-report and observer forms. Reliability was slightly higher for the CAARS-O:S (average a = .78) than for the CAARS-S:S (average a = .75). Test retest average correlations were r = .80 (self-reports) and r = .73 (observer ratings). Informant agreement was high at test (average r = .59) and retest (average r = .61). There were significant gender and age differences. Conclusion: This adaptation of the two short forms of the CAARS-S presents adequate evidence of validity and reliability, and it can therefore be used for diagnostic purposes and cross-cultural comparisons.
