Abstract

Disruptive behavior in adolescents is burdensome and may continue into adulthood if left unidentified. The strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) can screen for disruptive behavior, but its psychometric properties in high-risk samples and ability to predict delinquency warrant further investigation. In 1022 adolescents, we investigated the predictive validity (on average 1.9 years after screening) of the self-reported SDQ on disruptive behavior disorders and delinquency, measured with multi-informant questionnaires and structured interviews. We compared three scoring methods: total, subscale, and dysregulation profile scoring. In this high-risk sample, SDQ subscale scores predicted disruptive behavior outcomes best. Predictive values for the specific types of delinquency were small. Concluding, the SDQ can be used in high-risk settings for early identification of youth with disruptive behavior.

使用优势和困难问卷对处于危险中的青少年进行破坏性行为筛查。

青少年的破坏性行为是沉重的负担，如果不加以识别，可能会持续到成年。优势与困难问卷(SDQ)可以筛选破坏性行为，但其在高危样本中的心理测量特性和预测犯罪的能力有待进一步研究。在1022名青少年中，我们调查了自我报告的SDQ对破坏性行为障碍和犯罪的预测效度(筛选后平均1.9年)，采用多信息来源问卷和结构化访谈进行测量。我们比较了三种评分方法:总分、分量表和失调概况评分。在这个高风险样本中，SDQ子量表得分最能预测破坏性行为的结果。对特定类型的犯罪行为的预测值很小。综上所述，SDQ可以在高风险环境中用于早期识别有破坏性行为的青少年。
