Implication

Psychometric validation study demonstrates reliable structural and convergent validity for the Turkish Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire in parents, indicating its clinical utility.

Key Points

Evaluate the psychometric properties, factor structure, and reliability of the Turkish version of the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (BAPQ-T) in parents of children with autism spectrum disorder.
Administered the BAPQ-T and Autism Spectrum Quotient to 164 parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (P-CASD) and 81 parents of typically developing children (P-TDC).
Evaluated 3- to 4-week test–retest reliability in 44 randomly selected P-CASD participants.
Conducted confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency assessments, and convergent validity testing against the Autism Quotient.
Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original 3-factor model, yielding an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.815 and overall internal consistency of α = 0.840 for self-reports and α = 0.831 for informant-reports.
The Rigid Personality subscale showed lower internal consistency, with α = 0.610 for self-reports and α = 0.525 for informant-reports.
BAPQ-T best-estimate scores differed significantly between P-CASD and P-TDC, whereas self-report scores showed no statistically significant between-group differences.
