尽管测量幼儿和学龄前儿童的问题行为存在困难,但人们对幼儿情绪和行为障碍的诊断和治疗越来越感兴趣。评估行为问题的主要方法之一是让父母和其他照顾者完成标准化的行为检查表。儿童行为检查表/1½-5(CBCL/1½-5; Achenbach & Rescorla,2000)通常用于获得父母对幼儿问题行为的评级。本研究探讨了CBCL/1½-5上的项目是否提供了七个一阶行为维度的合理指标,据称该工具在全国2岁典型发育儿童样本中测量。此外,验证性因素分析的多组方法被用来评估这些项目负荷跨性别,种族和社会经济地位的不变性。结果支持存在的六个因素,是合理不变的男孩和女孩。种族和社会经济群体的比较未能揭示所有维度的因子不变性。这些结果进行了讨论,根据有关问题的评估,筛选和诊断的问题行为在幼儿。
Despite difficulties in measuring problem behaviors in toddlers and preschoolers, there is increased interest in the diagnosis and treatment of emotional and behavioral disorders in young children. One of the primary methods for assessing behavior problems involves having parents and other caretakers complete standardized behavior checklists. The Child Behavior Checklist/1½–5 (CBCL/1½–5; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2000) is commonly used to obtain parents’ ratings of the problem behaviors of young children. This study examined whether the items located on the CBCL/1½–5 provide reasonable indicators of the seven first-order behavioral dimensions purportedly measured by this instrument in a national sample of 2-year-old typically developing children. In addition, multigroup methods of confirmatory factor analysis were used to evaluate the invariance of these item loadings across gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Results support the presence of six factors that were reasonably invariant for boys and girls. Ethnic and socioeconomic group comparisons failed to reveal factorial invariance on all dimensions. These results are discussed in light of issues related to assessment, screening, and diagnosis of problem behavior in young children.
