“…The CFA showed an acceptable fit, with factor loadings above 0.30 for all items, supporting the original three-factor model. Similar to other studies (Godoy-Giménez et al, 2018 ; Ingersoll et al, 2011 ; Sasson et al, 2013a , 2013b ; Sharma & Bhushan, 2018 ; Stojković et al, 2018 ), the Pragmatic language subscale had the lowest factor loadings and smallest Cronbach's alpha. The BAPQ-SE had high internal consistency and convergent validity with the AQ, which has been observed in previous studies (Nishiyama et al, 2014 ; Sasson et al, 2013a , 2013b ).…”

The broad autism phenotype (BAP) is a set of characteristics often observed in typically developing people with a genetic load for autism, such as parents of autistic children. The Broad Autism Phenotypic Questionnaire (BAPQ) is a 36-item questionnaire developed to identify the BAP in first-degree relatives of autistic people. We translated the BAPQ into Swedish and examined its psychometric properties in a Swedish sample consisting of 45 parents of children with ASC and 74 parents of non-autistic children. We found support for the original 3-factor structure (aloof, pragmatic language and rigid), good internal consistency and convergent validity with the Autism Quotient. Thus, the Swedish BAPQ exhibits acceptable psychometric properties and may be useful for assessing the BAP in non-clinical populations.

“…We believe that our results will be in line with previous studies indicating adverse evidence based on the BAPQ internal structure (e.g., Lin et al, 2021;Stojković et al, 2018). Especially, a lack of unidimensionality of some BAPQ subscales is expected, mainly in the case of the Pragmatic Language or Rigid subscales (see Godoy-Giménez et al, 2018;Lin et al, 2021;Sasson et al, 2013a;Sharma and Bhushan, 2018;Stojković et al, 2018).…”

“…Altogether, the presented results lead us to think that the BAPQ could have been a useful measurement tool for meas-uring the BAP in English populations with middle-high BAP severity levels according to the original BAP operationalization (Piven et al, 1997a). Nevertheless, this study, in conjunction with others, has provided adverse evidence about the internal structure of the BAPQ (e.g., Godoy-Giménez et al, 2018;Lin et al, 2021;Sasson et al, 2013a;Sharma and Bhushan, 2018;Stojković et al, 2018). These findings could be better understood considering the most updated BAP operationalization (Godoy-Giménez et al, 2021;Morrison et al, 2018;Sasson et al, 2013b) and suggest that a new BAP test based on an updated BAP definition (as the middle expression of the current two-dimensions operationalization of the ASD; APA, 2013; see Godoy-Giménez et al, 2021) should be built.…”

Applying a Rasch model to the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire: item severity analysis and differential test functioning of the English and Spanish versions

The broad autism phenotype (BAP) represents the elevated but nonclinical levels of autism-related expressions expanding them beyond the disorder threshold towards the general population and it is assessed worldwide using the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire. In this study, we applied a Rasch item response approach to the Spanish and the English BAPQ versions. This approach allows us to test the proper functioning of each version, estimate which BAP behaviours are more likeable at different levels of severity, and study whether BAPQ item’s severities and orders could be considered equivalent between both versions. A Spanish community sample of 970 participants and an English of 533 ones completed either the Spanish or the English version of the BAPQ. The results revealed a lack of unidimensionality of the Pragmatic Language subscale in both tests and the Rigid subscale in the English version. Both Aloof subscale versions and the Spanish Rigid demonstrated adequate properties but with several items showing differential functioning in the case of Aloof. We conclude by highlighting the necessity of BAP measurements paralleling the current autism spectrum disorder structure, following the severity-dimensional conceptualization (behaviours are continuously distributed according to their severity), and suitable for being adapted to different languages.

“…Broderick et al (2015) found limited goodness-of-fit for the original three-factor structure of the BAPQ as well as their adapted four-factor version that included an anxiety factor. Finally, Sharma and Bhushan (2018) performed EFAs to validate the Hindi version of the BAPQ. They reported a different factor structure and suggested a brief, adapted version of the questionnaire.…”

Abstract. The Broader Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (BAPQ) is a measure to assess a set of personality and language characteristics reflecting the phenotypic expression of autistic traits in neurotypically developing individuals. This paper aims to evaluate the newly developed German version of the BAPQ (BAPQ-G) in terms of its factorial validity. We performed confirmatory factor analyses and correlations with other measures of the broader autism phenotype on three German samples ( N1 = 248, N2 = 289, N3 = 255). Associations with other constructs are in line with the assumptions, yet the anticipated factor structure of the BAPQ-G did not meet the cutoff criteria. These results are discussed along with recent findings regarding other cultural versions of the BAPQ.
