We investigated the measurement equivalence (ME) of the CBCL in an African American adolescent…

To facilitate such collaboration, this study tested the 8-syndrome structure of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) in 30 societies. Parents' CBCL ratings of 58,051 6- to 18-year-olds were subjected to confirmatory factor analyses,…

Lambert, Michael Canute; Essau, Cecilia A.; Schmitt, Neal; Samms-Vaughan, Maureen E. – Assessment, 2007
The Youth Self-Report Form's (YSR's) factor model was derived from traditional exploratory factor analytical procedures.

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…
