作为精神病理学理论的基础，临床心理学和相关学科需要在不同人群中推广的合理分类法。为了测试统计推导的青少年精神病理学8综合征分类模型的普遍性，对青少年自我报告（T.）进行了验证性因素分析（CFA）。M.阿肯巴赫湖A. Rescorla，2001年），由来自23个社团的30 243名11-18岁的青年完成。8证分类模型符合标准的良好拟合的数据，从每个社会。这与来自许多社会的父母完成的儿童行为检查表（Achenbach & Rescorla，2001）和教师完成的教师报告表（Achenbach & Rescorla，2001）的结果一致。按性别和年龄组分开的CFA支持个别社会中男孩和女孩以及年轻和年长青年的8综合征模型。研究结果提供了初步的支持，在非常不同的社会，性别和2个年龄组的8综合征模型的分类学的普遍性。
As a basis for theories of psychopathology, clinical psychology and related disciplines need sound taxonomies that are generalizable across diverse populations. To test the generalizability of a statistically derived 8-syndrome taxonomic model for youth psychopathology, confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) were performed on the Youth Self-Report (T. M. Achenbach & L. A. Rescorla, 2001) completed by 30,243 youths 11-18 years old from 23 societies. The 8-syndrome taxonomic model met criteria for good fit to the data from each society. This was consistent with findings for the parent-completed Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001) and the teacher-completed Teacher's Report Form (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001) from many societies. Separate CFAs by gender and age group supported the 8-syndrome model for boys and girls and for younger and older youths within individual societies. The findings provide initial support for the taxonomic generalizability of the 8-syndrome model across very diverse societies, both genders, and 2 age groups.
