Preliminary Study on the Development and Reliability and Validity of Attention Rating Scale

Summary

This study, based on preliminary experimental results, literature review, and expert consultations, developed the Attentional Rating Scale (ARS). The aim was to rapidly assess participants' attention and potential influencing factors. The research focused on the scale's reliability and validity among healthy adults. Additionally, the Attention Network Test (ANT) served as the gold standard for evaluating attention. The study attempted to identify correlations between various dimensions of attention and the three attentional networks.
