Aschenbach, 1991) using data from 631 youth ages 8 to 18. Results support Aschenbach's eight- correlated-factor model and the construct validity of the measure's scores. (SLD)

Cross-Cultural Generalizability of the Child Behavior Checklist Cross-Informant Syndromes.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
De Groot, Astrid; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1994
Principal factor analysis and promax rotations were performed on Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) scores of 2,339 clinically referred Dutch children. Dutch syndromes were very similar to the CBCL cross-informant syndromes derived by T. M. Aschenbach (1991), supporting the cross-cultural generalizability of the CBCL cross-informant syndromes. (SLD)

Consistently lower scores by Australian children indicated that American norms require adjustment for Australian use. Recommended adjustments are…
