“…Furthermore, adolescents were used as informants, whereas information was not gathered via parents or teachers. Whereas the strength of the approach by Achenbach et al has always been that constitution of syndromes is being tested in many settings and cultures [Achenbach, 1991b,c,d;Achenbach et al, 1987Achenbach et al, , 2003Crijnen et al, 1997;Dumenci et al, 2004;Verhulst et al, 2003], this study was conducted at a single outpatient department in The Netherlands. Another point that should be taken into account is that DSM-IV diagnoses were based on the ADIS-C interview.…”

Empirical studies that assess which items of the Youth Self‐Report (YSR) are the best predictors of anxiety disorders in adolescents are lacking, whereas several attempts have been made to construct an anxiety scale for the YSR. It is important to gap the bridge between existing YSR and DSM‐IV diagnostic constructs. My objective in this study was to investigate which YSR items or scales can be used best to predict anxiety disorders in adolescents. In a referred 183‐subject sample of 11‐ to 18‐year‐olds, we examined which YSR items and scales predicted DSM‐IV anxiety diagnoses assessed with the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for Children (ADIS‐C). Several items that predicted anxiety disorders were not included in existing anxiety scales of the YSR. Scale scores based on these items were stronger predictors of DSM‐IV anxiety disorders than existing anxiety scales. Testing empirically which YSR items predict DSM‐IV diagnoses may enhance the usefulness of the YSR for predicting anxiety disorders in clinical practice.

“…Large scale assessment studies have shown that a considerable amount of children suffer from attentional problems, either or not accompanied by hyperactivity (e.g. Achenbach, Verhulst, Edelbrock, Baron & Akkerhuis, 1987). From clinical studies it appears that many types of brain dysfunction, such as schizophrenia, closed head injury, depression or dementia, are associated with disturbances of attentional function (e.g.…”

Suuuuary-TheStar Counting Test (SCT) has been developed to measure the regulatory function of attention. In a previous study it was shown that the SCT is suited for assessment of this attentional aspect with children. The present study concerns a more difficult version aimed at young adults. In the literature, the regulatory function of attention is increasingly stressed and it has been linked to working memory functioning.In order to further determine the validity of the SCT, performance was checked against two kinds of measures relating to working memory, i.e. Digit Span and Computational Span. These tasks both call for storage but differ in their claims on the processing component of working memory. Using confirmatory factor analysis substantial correlations were demonstrated with either of these measures. As expected, the correlations tended to rise with increasing demands on the processing component. Test scores were further compared with self-reported cognitive failures. No significant relation appeared to exist. The results are interpreted in terms of demands on the regulatory function of attention.

“…Puerto Rico) have documented interesting, albeit modest, differences in the frequency of behavioral and emotional problems that may reflect the contribution of cultural influences (Achenbach, Hensley, Phares, & Grayson, 1990;Achenbach, Verhulst, Baron, & Althaus, 1987;Achenbach, Verhulst, Edelbrock, Baron, & Akkerhuis, 1987;Brandenburg, Friedman, & Silver, 1990;Lambert, Weisz, & Knight, 1989;Weisz, Suwanlert, Chaiyasit, & Walter, 1987;Weisz et al, 1989). This study was undertaken to examine the feasibility of utilizing the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) in a genetic-epidemiologic project in the greater Moscow area.…”

A Russian adaptation of the child behavior checklist: Psychometric properties and associations with child and maternal affective symptomatology and family functioning

The Child Behavior Checklist's (CBCL) applicability to a sample of 105 Russian 9- and 10-year-old children was evaluated by examining the internal consistency of Russian adaptations of parent and teacher report forms. In addition, child behavior scores were correlated with child report of internalizing symptoms and maternal reports of their own internalizing symptoms and general family functioning. Finally, rates of child behavior problems and patterns of interrater agreement were compared with U.S. normative data. The psychometric properties of the adaptations demonstrate the adequacy of these instruments for use in Russia. Internal consistency and interrater agreement were generally comparable to estimates obtained in U.S. normative samples. Further, an exploration of the construct validity of the Russian versions of the CBCL and Teacher Report Form (TRF) lends additional support to the adequacy of these instrument.
