Abstract

Background

Several assessments have been developed to assess school-aged children’s emotional and behavioral problems (EBPs), but none based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition, Text Revision. This study aimed to develop the Assessment for Emotional and Behavioral Problems in School-aged children (AEBPS) fitting current knowledge of mental health disorders.

Materials and methods

This study included 2 phases. In Phase I, the assessment construct and its corresponding items were developed. In Phase II, the reliability and validity of the AEBPS were examined.

Results

The AEBPS contains 120 items in five subscales. The psychometric results showed that the AEBPS subscales had high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.83–0.97) and acceptable to good test–retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient = 0.65–0.93). The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that most items within each subscale of the AEBPS significantly contributed to their respective concepts. The AEBPS subscales had small to high correlations with the subscales of the Child Behavior Checklist (r = 0.37–0.87). The AEBPS had good discriminant validity to differentiate children with and without EBPs.

Conclusions

The newly-developed AEBPS fits the current knowledge of mental health diagnoses for assessing school-aged children’s EBPs and has sound psychometric evidence. The AEBPS can be reliably and validly used in a variety of settings.

开发学龄儿童情绪和行为问题评估系统
背景为评估学龄儿童的情绪和行为问题(EBPs),已经开发了几种评估方法,但没有一种是基于《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第五版文本修订版的。本研究旨在开发学龄儿童情绪和行为问题评估(AEBPS),以适应当前的心理健康疾病知识。在第一阶段,开发了评估结构及其相应的项目。结果AEBPS包含5个分量表中的120个项目。心理测量结果表明,AEBPS 各分量表具有较高的内部一致性(Cronbach's alpha = 0.83-0.97)和可接受至良好的测试-再测信度(类内相关系数 = 0.65-0.93)。探索性因素分析的结果表明,AEBPS 各分量表中的大多数项目都对各自的概念有显著的贡献。AEBPS 的各分量表与儿童行为检查表的各分量表有小到高的相关性(r = 0.37-0.87)。结论新开发的 AEBPS 符合当前用于评估学龄儿童 EBPs 的心理健康诊断知识,并具有良好的心理测量学证据。AEBPS 可在各种环境中可靠有效地使用。

期刊介绍: The Asian Journal of Psychiatry serves as a comprehensive resource for psychiatrists, mental health clinicians, neurologists, physicians, mental health students, and policymakers. Its goal is to facilitate the exchange of research findings and clinical practices between Asia and the global community. The journal focuses on psychiatric research relevant to Asia, covering preclinical, clinical, service system, and policy development topics. It also highlights the socio-cultural diversity of the region in relation to mental health.
