Exploration of Psychometric Properties of the Developmental Behavior Checklist
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2001
The Developmental Behavior Checklist (DBC; Einfeld & Tonge, 1995) is one of a very small number of psychopathology assessment instruments designed specifically for use with children and adolescents with mental retardation. In the present study, a factor analysis of the DBC was performed using a sample of 531 children and adolescents. This analysis revealed a factor structure sharing a good deal of overlap with the factor analyses of the DBC's developers. Furthermore, the high levels of internal consistency of the DBC subscales were replicated. Further research and development is needed on the DBC and other instruments for children and adolescents with mental retardation.
A factor analytic and reliability study of the Devereux Child Behavior Rating Scale
Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 1973
The factor structure of the Devereux Child Behavior (DCB) Rating Scale was found to be different in the present study from those reported by the authors of the scale. Five of the 17 DCB factors were too unreliable to include in the present factor analysis. The findings of the present study were strikingly similar with other factor analytic studies of behavior rating scales in that only three main factors were found: Conduct Disorder, Personality Disorder, and Inadequacy-Immaturity.
