Abstract

This study assessed the validity of the Behavior Assessment System for Children 2nd Edition, by providing evidence based on a multitraitmultimethod (MTMM) analysis performed on data obtained with a culturally adapted form of the test. The study included two Romanian samples (161 adolescents aged 12-18 years and 91 children aged 8-12 years) that were each assessed with all the three age corresponding forms (self, parent, and teacher) of the test. We used a confirmatory factor analytic framework in order to test the convergent and discriminant validity of BASC-2, by generating a CFAbased multi-trait, multi-method latent factor correlation matrix. Results showed that, for both the Adolescent and Child forms, the coefficients falling under the validity diagonal (mono-trait, hetero-method) have the highest median values, compared to the coefficients encountered in the monomethod block and those in the heteromethod-heterotrait triangles. The study provides evidence for the construct validity of the multi-trait, multi-rater assessment system that is the basis of the BASC-2.

罗马尼亚版儿童行为评估的收敛效度:多特质-多方法分析

本研究评估了儿童行为评估系统第二版的有效性，提供了基于多特征多方法(MTMM)分析的证据，这些分析是通过文化适应形式的测试获得的数据进行的。该研究包括两个罗马尼亚样本(161名12-18岁的青少年和91名8-12岁的儿童)，每个样本都用测试的三种年龄对应形式(自我、父母和老师)进行评估。为了检验BASC-2的收敛效度和判别效度，我们采用验证性因子分析框架，生成基于cfaba的多性状、多方法潜在因子相关矩阵。结果表明，在青少年和儿童问卷中，效度对角线(单性状、异性状)下的系数中位数最高，高于单方法区域和异方法-异性状三角形区域。本研究为BASC-2的多特质、多评分者评价体系的构建效度提供了依据。
