Validation and psychometric properties of the "Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test"

Validation et propriétés psychométriques du "Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test"

Résumé

The French validation and psychometric investigation of the “Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test” (or “Eyes Test”; Baron-Cohen et al., 2001) was carried out on 661 French participants. Participants completed the Eyes Test, Facial Emotional Recognition test and Mill-Hill Vocabulary. This study is, to the best of our knowledge, the largest study assessing the psychometrics characteristics of the Eyes Test, allowing a Bayesian Item Response Model analysis and the study of its presumed unidimensionality. A subsample of 71 participants completed the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test twice. The 3-PL model of Item Response Theory with Bayesian estimation was used to find the items with significant discriminant alpha coefficients. Parallel Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were used to assess the unidimensionality of the Eyes Test. Thirty one items were included in the final version of the French Eyes Test. Results suggest that the French Eyes Test with 31 items has good convergent and discriminant validities and that it fits a one-dimensional model ; moreover, the test is stable across time. However, the 3-PL Bayesian Item Response Theory Model fit suggests a high level of correct guessing. The Eyes Test measures a unique ability, namely affective theory of mind.
