The Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) effectively identifies emotional and behavioral difficulties in primary school children. Teacher expectations within schools, not between them, influenced checklist scores, supporting the CBCL's validity.

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Educational Psychology
  • Psychometric Assessment

Background:

  • Identifying emotional and behavioral difficulties in primary school children is crucial for timely intervention.
  • The Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) is a widely used tool for assessing these difficulties.
  • Understanding the influence of teacher perceptions on assessment outcomes is important for accurate identification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the application of the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) in identifying children with emotional and behavioral difficulties in mainstream primary schools.
  • To examine the agreement between referred and non-referred student status and CBCL classification.
  • To investigate the extent to which teacher expectations contribute to CBCL scores.

Main Methods:

  • Teacher-reported CBCL data were collected for referred and non-referred primary school students.
  • Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to assess the impact of teacher expectations on CBCL scores.
  • Agreement levels between student referral status and CBCL-based psychiatric disturbance classification were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • A high level of agreement was found between student referral status and classification using CBCL criteria.
  • Teacher differences within schools were found to be more significant than differences between schools in influencing CBCL scores.
  • The findings support the validity of the CBCL for use in primary school settings.

Conclusions:

  • The Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) demonstrates validity and utility for identifying emotional and behavioral difficulties in primary school settings.
  • Teacher perceptions and expectations within schools play a notable role in assessment outcomes.
  • The study supports the continued application of the CBCL in ordinary primary schools for early identification and intervention.
