Restricted and repetitive behavior (RRB) is one of the two core diagnostic features used to determine the severity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R) is widely used to measure the presence and severity of a variety of RRBs in individuals with ASD. Previous studies have implemented a factor analysis framework to examine the RBS-R, while there're still inconsistencies in the use of the measure. This study analyzed the validity and reliability of the RBS-R using data from 315 Chinese children aged 9--16 with ASD. The results showed that the original tested items were adaptable to the Chinese cultural environment when treating such disorders. A confirmatory factor analysis indicated that a 6-factor model was most suitable for evaluating RRB in this context. Consistent with previous studies, the 6-factor model was preferred because of its fit statistics in evaluating RRBs using data from Chinese children with ASD aged 9-16. It's necessary to implement the same structure (e.g. 6-factor model) of the RBS-R to enable efficient comparisons of results across studies. Validating the RBS-R cross different contexts and using longitudinal data are helpful to advance our knowledge of RRB.
