ABSTRACT
Background:
The Scale of Emotional Development-Short (SED-S) assesses the level of emotional development (ED) of persons with intellectual disability (ID) in eight domains across five stages with reference ages from 0 to 12 years. The aim of this study was to apply and validate the SED-S in a sample of healthy adults with ID.Method:
Eighty-three mentally healthy adults with ID were assessed using the SED-S. Factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, and correlational analyses were used to test the scale's internal structure and associations.Results:
The results showed that the eight-domain structure of the SED-S is supported by strong inter-domain correlations, a high Cronbach's alpha, and a one-factor confirmatory factor analysis. The SED-S was associated with the severity of ID but not with age or gender.Conclusions:
The SED-S can be used in non-clinical settings to better understand and meet the emotional needs of adults with ID.
