优势和困难问卷（SDQ）已被广泛用作一个简短的行为筛选。本研究旨在探讨日本学龄前儿童3- 4岁版SDQ（SDQ 3-4）的内部一致性和重测信度。在2012年6月至7月的2周内，在2个不同时间（时间1和时间2）对日本和子市的754名4至6岁儿童在幼儿园或保育中心上学的父母进行了SDQ 3-4。采用Cronbach’s α和相关系数分别检验量表的内部一致性和重测信度。在时间1时返回回复的393名家长中（回复率52.1%），在排除10名缺失数据的回复后，383名家长用于分析。他们孩子的平均年龄为4.7岁（标准差0.7）。内部一致性（Cronbach's α）在困难总分（0.74）和亲社会行为量表（0.70）上表现良好。然而，情绪症状、行为问题和多动量表（0.61-0.66）略差，同伴问题量表（0.45）较差。在时间1的383名受访者中，211名家长在时间2返回了他们的回答（回答率：55.1%）。重测信度（相关系数）良好（0.73-0.82），除了同伴问题量表（0.58）。研究结果支持SDQ 3-4的可靠性是令人满意的总的困难评分和亲社会行为量表，是可以接受的情绪症状，行为问题，多动量表在日本学龄前儿童4-6岁。
The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) has been widely used as a brief behavioral screening. The aim of this study was to examine the internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the 3- to 4-year-old version of the SDQ (SDQ 3–4) in Japanese preschool children. The SDQ 3–4 was administered to 754 parents who had 4- to 6-year-old children attending kindergartens or childcare centers in Wako City, Japan, at 2 different times (Time 1 and Time 2) over a 2-week interval between June and July 2012. Cronbach’s α and correlation coefficients were used to examine internal consistency and test-retest reliability, respectively. Of 393 parents who returned their responses at Time 1 (response rate 52.1%), 383 were used for analysis after excluding 10 responses with missing data. Their children’s mean age was 4.7 (standard deviation 0.7) years. The internal consistency (Cronbach’s α) was good for the total difficulties score (0.74) and the prosocial behavior scale (0.70). However, it was slightly worse for the emotional symptoms, conduct problems, and hyperactivity scales (0.61–0.66) and poor for the peer problems scale (0.45). Of the 383 included respondents at Time 1, 211 parents returned their responses at Time 2 (response rate: 55.1%). Test-retest reliability (correlation coefficients) was good (0.73–0.82), except for the peer problems scale (0.58). The results support the reliability of the SDQ 3–4 being satisfactory for the total difficulties score and prosocial behavior scale and being acceptable for the emotional symptoms, conduct problems, and hyperactivity scales in Japanese preschool children aged 4–6 years.
