The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL/6-18) is a widely used parent-report measure of youth internalizing and externalizing problems. Accumulating evidence, however, suggests that the CBCL may not adequately assess clinical problems in diverse populations. We investigated the measurement equivalence (ME) of the CBCL in an African American adolescent…

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…

Konold, Timothy R.; Walthall, Johanna C.; Pianta, Robert C. – Behavioral Disorders, 2004
Standardized rating scales are the most often used part of the multidimensional assessment of children's behavior.

This study examined whether the manner in which behavioral constructs are measured differs across informants, across…
