Research background and hypothesis. The study started with the hypothesis that direct observation of a child could be used as part of assessment of various internal problems. The results of recent observational studies on depressed children show that explicit behavioral symptoms of depression, such as psychomotor agitation, can be systematically observed during standardized procedures. Research aim. The aim of the study was to construct a checklist of motor behavior for children aged 11–12 years with internal problems. Research methods. Items for the checklist were recorded from DSM-IV and ISD-100. Children of 11–12 years (n = 75) were videotaped whilst participating in physical education lessons. Achenbach’s Child Behavior Checklist (Youth Self-Report for Ages 11–18 (YSR) and Teachers’ Report Form for Ages 5–18 (TRF)) were applied to the sample as well. The results from YRS and TRF were used for the development of validity statistics. Reliability statistics was calculated as well.Research results. The 14 statements were selected for the development of observation of motor behavior for children with internal problems. Result showed that the internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.79) and reliability (ICC = 0.81) of the checklist were good. The insignificant result of dispersion among the observer group (F  = 7.233, (df = 4) p = 0.423) showed that the observers agreed when assessing children.Discussion and conclusions. The instrument will be useful in screening children with possible internal problems and assisting in intervention planning aimed at influencing motor behavior. The study has a number of limitations – the sample is too small, the more extensive check of validity and reliability is required.Keywords: observation, internal problems, protocol of motor behavior, validity, reliability.

The Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) is an example of the efforts to integrate categorical and dimensional assessment methods. The latest editions of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and the Youth Self-Report (YSR) included the DSM-Oriented Scales, constructed in rational manner based on the items making up these inventories. Objective: To analyze the psychometric properties of the DSM-Oriented Scales of the CBCL and YSR. Method: A clinical sample of 420 children and adolescents (aged 8-17 years) was assessed with the CBCL and YSR, with a structured diagnostic interview and with measures of functional impairment to study the reliability and validity of the DSM-Oriented Scales. Results: Internal consistency ranged from moderate to good for all the scales except the DSM-Anxiety Problems Scale. Agreement between parents and children ranged between moderate and low values. Kappa coefficients showed moderate agreement in the different symptoms. The DSM-Oriented Scales presented acceptable diagnostic power for DSM-IV disorders and a significant relationship with measures of functional impairment. Conclusion: The DSM-Oriented Scales constitute a useful approach from the dimensional model to the DSM-IV disorders in Spanish clinical population.

AbstractTwo cohorts of adolescents who were categorized at either 21 or 31 months of age as extremely inhibited or uninhibited completed the Youth Self-Report (YSR), and their parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). In the second year, inhibited children typically cease ongoing behavior and vocalizing, seek comfort from a familiar person, or withdraw in response to unfamiliar situations. By contrast uninhibited children do not become subdued by novelty and are sociable and outgoing, often vocalizing, smiling, and approaching unfamiliar persons or objects. The 13-year-old adolescents who had been categorized as inhibited at 21 months of age scored significantly lower than adolescents originally classified as uninhibited on the Total Externalizing, Delinquent Behavior, and Aggressive Behavior Scales. Parental ratings of Total Externalizing and Aggressive behavior on the CBCL agreed with the Youth Self-Report. The second cohort of adolescents who had been selected at 31 months yielded similar findings, but only for males. These results suggest that important aspects of the original temperamental profile have been preserved over a 12-year period.

Resumo O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral analisar as diferenças nos problemas de internalização (ansiedade, depressão, queixas somáticas), avaliados por diferentes informadores (pais, professores e jovens), em função do nível de realização acadêmica, em alunos do ensino básico e secundário. Para tal, recorreu-se a uma amostra estratificada representativa da população portuguesa constituída por 1.510 alunos, com idades compreendidas entre os 11 e 18 anos. Do conjunto de provas da bateria Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment validados para a população portuguesa, foram utilizadas a Child Behavior Checklist 6-18, a Youth Self-Report 11-18 e a Teacher Report Form 6-18. De uma forma geral, os resultados evidenciam que os alunos com realização acadêmica baixa apresentam mais problemas de internalização do que alunos com realização acadêmica média e/ou elevada. No entanto, no 3º ciclo do ensino básico, na perspectiva dos próprios jovens, os alunos com realização acadêmica elevada apresentam maiores níveis de ansiedade/depressão, comparativamente aos alunos com realização acadêmica baixa. Estes resultados indicam-nos que, para além de os alunos com realização acadêmica baixa se encontrarem numa situação de risco e vulnerabilidade para problemas de internalização, é necessário ter também especial atenção aos alunos com realização acadêmica elevada. Destes resultados decorrem implicações práticas relevantes para os contextos escolares, nomeadamente ao nível da consideração da relação entre a realização acadêmica e o bem-estar psicológico.

Fragestellung: Die Verwendbarkeit und psychometrischen Eigenschaften einer für die Elternsicht adaptierten Version des Depressions-Inventars für Kinder und Jugendliche (DIKJ) wurden an einer klinischen Stichprobe mit heterogenen Störungsbildern überprüft. Methodik: Eingeschlossen wurden die Elternurteile von 129 Kindern und Jugendlichen zwischen 7 und 18 Jahren in ambulanter psychotherapeutischer Behandlung. Für n = 80 Patienten lag neben dem Elternurteil auch das Selbsturteil der Kinder und Jugendlichen vor. Die Teilnehmer füllten zu Therapiebeginn den DIKJ und die Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) bzw. den Youth Self Report (YSR) aus. Ergebnisse: Die Elternversion des DIKJ erwies sich als reliabel sowie konvergent und diskriminant valide: mittlere bis hohe Korrelationen zu internalisierenden Skalen des CBCL, und eine geringe Korrelation zur externalisierenden Skala des CBCL. Die Korrelationen waren vergleichbar zum Selbsturteil. Die Intra-Class Korrelationen zwischen Eltern und Kindangaben lagen im mittleren Bereich. Die Übereinstimmung der DIKJ Auffälligkeit mit dem Diagnosestatus im diagnostischen Interview (K-SADS) bei 59 % im Selbsturteil und 57 % im Elternurteil. Schlussfolgerungen: Die Elternversion des DIKJ ist reliabel und gut in einer klinischen Stichprobe verwendbar. Erste Hinweise sprechen für die konvergente und diskriminante Validität. Somit kann der DIKJ in Eltern- und Selbsturteil zur bi-perspektivischen Erfassung depressiver Symptomatik eingesetzt werden, auch wenn der Cut-off des DIKJ erneut überprüft werden sollte.

The current study assessed the associations between sleep and psychosocial symptoms in 157 Finnish adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Sleep trouble was self-rated in Sleep Self-Report (SSR) and in Youth Self-Report (YSR). Psychosocial symptoms of the adolescents were assessed by the YSR and Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Patients reporting sleep trouble had significantly more psychosocial symptoms than their counterparts without sleep trouble. This was shown in the CBCL and YSR scales of total problems (P<0.01), anxious/depressed mood (P<0.05), and aggressive behavior (P<0.01). Additionally, SSR sleep problem subscale scores indicating lower sleep quality (bedtime, sleep behavior) associated significantly with attention problems (P<0.05). These results point out that sleep trouble should be recognized and treated in adolescents with IBD to possibly avoid the emerging of psychosocial symptoms.

The Youth Self-Report (YSR/11-18) is a widely used child-report measure that assesses problem behaviors along two “broadband scales”: internalizing and externalizing. It also scores eight empirically based syndromes and DSM-oriented scales and provides a summary of total problems. Although the YSR was designed for youths ages 11-18, no studies have systematically evaluated whether youths under the age of 11 can make valid reports using the YSR broad-band, syndrome and DSM-oriented scales. It is a parallel form to the caretaker-completed Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and teacher-completed Teacher Report Form (TRF). Few studies related to YSR/11-18 (Achenbach, & Rescorla, 2000, 2001) factor structure were carried out in Spanish children and adolescent population. This study analyses the factor structure of this assessment tool, in 961 Spanish adolescents attending school from 13 to 18 years old. A principal components method was used to extract the factors followed by a Varimax rotation. According to current research, each sex was treated separately, and only items referred to misbehavior (105 out of 119) were included. Seven first-order common factors were found in both, boys and girls: Anxious/Depressed, Somatic Complaints, Delinquent Behavior, Aggressive Behavior, Attention Problems, Thought Problems and Relational Problems. Factoring of these seven syndromes led to a single second-order factor in younger males. Older males and females showed labeled internalize and externalize symptoms. These results resembled that obtained in former studies with Spanish population.

Reliabilität Und Validität

Zusammenfassung. In dieser Studie wird ein Ansatz zur mehrdimensionalen und mehrperspektivischen Diagnostik sozialer Kompetenz lernbehinderter Jugendlicher dargestellt. 77 lernbehinderte Jugendliche aus zwei Zentren für berufliche Rehabilitation wurden per Selbst- und Fremdeinschätzung untersucht. Dabei wurden als Selbstbeurteilungsverfahren der Unsicherheitsfragebogen, das Teenage Inventory of Social Skills sowie der Youth Self Report 11-18 verwendet, ergänzend wurde eine Fremdbeurteilung mit der Child Behavior Checklist 4-18, dem Teilmodul 3 „Soziale Kompetenz” des Handlungsorientierten Moduls zur Erfassung und Förderung beruflicher Kompetenzen und dem Beobachtungskategoriensystem Aggressives, Kompetentes und Initiativloses Verhalten erhoben. Reliabilität und Validität der einzelnen Instrumente wurden überprüft, mittels einer Faktorenanalyse wurden Sekundärdimensionen sozialer Kompetenz identifiziert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die internen Konsistenzen einiger, jedoch nicht aller Skalen überwiegend zufriedenstellend waren. Skaleninterkorrelationen traten in erwarteter Richtung auf. Die Faktorenanalyse ergab eine Reduktion auf fünf Faktoren sozialer Kompetenz. Die Ergebnisse stützen die Mehrdimensionalität des Konstrukts soziale Kompetenz. Insbesondere erwiesen sich kompetentes und problematisches Sozialverhalten als voneinander unabhängige Dimensionen.
