Abstract

We assessed the psychometric properties of the Social Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ), a 30-item questionnaire evaluating social (e.g., disruptive behaviors, bullying) and emotional problems (e.g., anxiety, depression) among children aged 3.5–12 years. Children (n = 1,950, 50.21% boys) were drawn from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development. Mothers reported the frequency with which children presented social and emotional behaviors from 3.5 to 8 years of age, and teachers from 6 to 12 years. We assessed internal structure using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, reliability using Cronbach’s alpha, and convergent and discriminant validity using a multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) approach. The six-factor (emotional distress, withdrawal, impulsive/hyperactive/inattentive, disruptive behaviors, prosocial behaviors, and peer relationships difficulties) structure of the SBQ showed good fit from ages 3.5 to 12 years. Reliability estimates were good to excellent (alphas > .7), and MTMM showed good convergent and discriminant validity. Overall, the SBQ presented good psychometric properties with a large population-based sample aged 3.5–12 years. Further studies should assess its screening potential by investigating its convergent validity with diagnostic information.

社会行为问卷（SBQ）在基于人群的纵向样本中的心理测量特性

我们评估了社会行为问卷（SBQ）的心理测量特性，这是一份30项问卷，评估3.5-12岁儿童的社会（如破坏性行为、欺凌）和情绪问题（如焦虑、抑郁）年。儿童（n = 1950年，50.21%的男孩）来自魁北克儿童发展纵向研究。母亲们报告说，孩子表现出社交和情绪行为的频率从3.5到8 年龄6岁至12岁的教师年。我们使用确证因子分析评估内部结构，使用Cronbachα评估可靠性，使用多特征多方法（MTMM）评估收敛和判别有效性。SBQ的六个因素（情绪困扰、退缩、冲动/过度活跃/注意力不集中、破坏性行为、亲社会行为和同伴关系困难）结构在3.5至12岁之间表现出良好的匹配性年。可靠性评估从良好到优秀（阿尔法 > .7），MTMM具有良好的收敛性和判别有效性。总体而言，SBQ具有良好的心理测量特性，样本年龄为3.5-12岁，以人群为基础年。进一步的研究应该通过调查其与诊断信息的收敛有效性来评估其筛查潜力。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Behavioral Development is the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development, which exists to promote the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about developmental processes at all stages of the life span - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. The Journal is already the leading international outlet devoted to reporting interdisciplinary research on behavioural development, and has now, in response to the rapidly developing fields of behavioural genetics, neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, expanded its scope to these and other related new domains of scholarship. In this way, it provides a truly world-wide platform for researchers which can facilitate a greater integrated lifespan perspective. In addition to original empirical research, the Journal also publishes theoretical and review papers, methodological papers, and other work of scientific interest that represents a significant advance in the understanding of any aspect of behavioural development. The Journal also publishes papers on behaviour development research within or across particular geographical regions. Papers are therefore considered from a wide range of disciplines, covering all aspects of the lifespan. Articles on topics of eminent current interest, such as research on the later life phases, biological processes in behaviour development, cross-national, and cross-cultural issues, and interdisciplinary research in general, are particularly welcome.
