Summary

The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) factor structure, based on parental reports, is validated for use by group care workers. This supports using CBCL syndromes for children in residential care.

Area of Science:

  • Child and Adolescent Psychology
  • Psychometric Assessment
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) is a widely used tool for assessing child and adolescent psychopathology.
  • Its factor structure has been extensively validated using parental reports.
  • The utility of the CBCL for other informant groups, such as group care workers, requires investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the factor structure of the CBCL when completed by group care workers.
  • To determine if the established CBCL factor model fits data from group care worker judgments.
  • To evaluate the potential for adapting the CBCL for use by group care workers in residential settings.

Main Methods:

  • Confirmatory factor analysis was employed.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Data were collected from group care workers regarding 846 children and adolescents in Dutch residential settings.
  • The original CBCL factor model, derived from parental reports, was tested against the group care worker data.

    • Main Results:

    • The study confirmed that the original CBCL factor model demonstrates a good fit for data collected from group care workers.
    • This indicates that the 8 narrow-band syndromes and 2 broad-band syndromes (Internalizing and Externalizing) are applicable to group care worker judgments.
    • The findings support the cross-informant validity of the CBCL factor structure.

    Conclusions:

    • The factor structure of the CBCL is robust across different informant types, including group care workers.
    • This research is a foundational step towards developing a dedicated CBCL version for group care workers.
    • Future research should focus on collecting normative data specific to group care workers to enhance the tool's application in this context.
