本研究评估了问题行为频率量表（PBFS），这是一种自我报告的测量方法，旨在评估青少年的受害，攻击和其他问题行为的频率。对来自4个地点37所学校的5 532名青少年进行了抽样分析。大约一半（49%）的参与者是男性; 48%的人自认为是非西班牙裔黑人; 21%是西班牙裔，18%是白色非西班牙裔。青少年完成了PBFS和措施的信念和价值观有关的侵略，和犯罪的同伴协会在开始的6年级和2年多后。参与者的行为评级也从教师那里获得了儿童行为评估系统。实证因素分析支持一个7因素模型，区分3种形式的侵略（身体，言语和关系），2种形式的受害（公开和关系），吸毒，和其他违法行为。支持强测量跨性别，网站和时间的不变性。PBFS各因子与教师对青少年行为的评价及相关构念的自陈测量结果呈现出预期的相关模式。
This study evaluated the Problem Behavior Frequency Scale (PBFS), a self-report measure designed to assess adolescents' frequency of victimization, aggression, and other problem behaviors. Analyses were conducted on a sample of 5,532 adolescents from 37 schools at 4 sites. About half (49%) of participants were male; 48% self-identified as Black non-Hispanic; 21% as Hispanic, 18% as White non-Hispanic. Adolescents completed the PBFS and measures of beliefs and values related to aggression, and delinquent peer associations at the start of the 6th grade and over 2 years later. Ratings of participants' behavior were also obtained from teachers on the Behavioral Assessment System for Children. Confirmatory factor analyses supported a 7-factor model that differentiated among 3 forms of aggression (physical, verbal, and relational), 2 forms of victimization (overt and relational), drug use, and other delinquent behavior. Support was found for strong measurement invariance across gender, sites, and time. The PBFS factors generally showed the expected pattern of correlations with teacher ratings of adolescents' behavior and self-report measures of relevant constructs.
