This study reviews behavior rating scales for toddlers, presenting an empirically derived classification of child behavior. Findings support gender-specific factors in developmental psychopathology, aligning with international data.

Area of Science:

  • Child psychiatry
  • Developmental psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Existing diagnostic manuals lack precise descriptions of developmental psychopathology in infants and toddlers.
  • Behavior rating scales and psychometric instruments are crucial for assessing this age group.
  • International normative data for the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL 2-3) exists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a literature review on behavior rating scales for infants and toddlers.
  • To present an empirically derived classification of age-specific behavior.
  • To compare gender-specific factor analysis results from a German normative sample with Achenbach's syndrome scales (CBCL 2-3).

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of psychometric instruments for infant and toddler behavior rating.

  • Gender-specific factor analysis on a German normative sample (N=751) of 2.5-year-old children.
  • Comparison of findings with Achenbach's syndrome scales (CBCL 2-3) and international normative samples.

    • Main Results:

    • The factor analysis replicated Achenbach's sleep-problem scale and closely aligned with other Achenbach syndrome scales.
    • German, Dutch, US, and Canadian normative samples for the CBCL 2-3 showed no statistically significant differences.
    • An empirically derived, age-specific behavior classification was presented, contrasting with current diagnostic manuals.

    Conclusions:

    • Gender-specific factor solutions derived from normative samples are prognosticated for developmental psychopathology.
    • The findings support the cross-cultural generalizability of the CBCL 2-3 scales.
    • The study provides psychometric data and discusses developmental psychopathology from a child psychiatrist's perspective.
