The present study sought to assess the ability of teachers to identify emerging mental health disorders through a novel vignette measure. Canadian certified primary grade teachers ( N = 101) completed a survey that included a novel vignette measure. Participants rated the severity of fictitious student behaviors depicted in several vignettes and their accuracy was calculated based on how closely their ratings matched the severity of symptoms depicted. Accuracy estimates derived through this measure differed considerably from previous vignette measure paradigms, producing much lower estimates of identification accuracy. A binomial logistics regression indicated that neither the gender nor pathology depicted in the vignettes significantly influenced rating accuracy. This novel vignette measure may represent a quick and effective means of assessing the accuracy of teachers in identifying emerging mental health disorders in their students.

探索教育工作者识别小学生新兴精神病态行为的能力：评估新颖的小插图测量的使用

本研究试图评估教师通过一种新颖的小插曲措施识别新出现的心理健康障碍的能力。加拿大认证小学教师（N = 101）完成了一项调查，其中包括一项新颖的小插曲测量。参与者对几个小插图中描述的虚构学生行为的严重程度进行评分，其准确性是根据他们的评分与所描述的症状严重程度的匹配程度来计算的。通过这种测量得出的准确性估计与以前的晕影测量范式有很大不同，产生的识别准确性估计要低得多。二项式逻辑回归表明，插图中描述的性别和病理情况都没有显着影响评级准确性。这种新颖的小插曲测量可能代表了一种快速有效的方法，可以评估教师在识别学生中新出现的心理健康障碍方面的准确性。
