Researchers created a shorter version of the Adult Behavioral Classification Project Inventory (AdBCP), called the Brief AdBCP Inventory. This 42-item instrument maintains a fair confirmation of the original factor structure for behavioral classification.

Area of Science:

  • Psychological assessment
  • Behavioral science
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • The Adult Behavioral Classification Project Inventory (AdBCP) is a comprehensive tool for behavioral assessment.
  • Previous research focused on the development and validation of the full-scale AdBCP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To abridge the Adult Behavioral Classification Project Inventory (AdBCP) into a more concise instrument.
  • To validate the factor structure of the abridged inventory using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses.

Main Methods:

  • The full-scale AdBCP data was divided into two halves.
  • Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed on each half, controlling for 11 key factors.
  • Items with factor structure weights of at least .35 were retained, resulting in a 42-item instrument.

Main Results:

  • A 42-item instrument, the Brief AdBCP Inventory, was developed.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated fair confirmation of the original factor structure when predicting from the first half to the second half.
  • A preliminary norm table was generated based on the factor scores from the first half of the participant data.

Conclusions:

  • The Brief AdBCP Inventory is a validated, abridged version of the AdBCP.
  • The brief inventory maintains acceptable psychometric properties for behavioral classification.
  • The developed instrument offers a more efficient option for behavioral assessment.
