“…The ECBPSS includes a teacher and parent form, each with 12 items that use a 4-point Likert-type scale that ranges from 0 (not at all like my child) to 3 (very much like my child). Initial investigations of reliability and convergent validity are promising (Griffith, Nelson, Epstein, & Pederson, 2008;Nelson, Epstein, Griffith, & Harper, 2007).…”

“…Best practice recommendations encourage clinicians to consider information from multiple sources when evaluating problems in youth; however, most multiple‐informant measures have not demonstrated strong interrater reliability . Informant discrepancies may be due to divergent perspectives on whether behaviours are contextually limited versus consistent, developmentally appropriate versus atypical, or purposeful versus involuntary .…”

Aim The aim of the current study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the BASC-2 Atypicality subscale in a sample of adolescents receiving mental health services. Methods A large sample (N=1,916) of adolescents aged 12–20 years (median=14.7 years) completed the BASC-2. A parent and teacher also completed the measure for each child. We analyzed internal consistency and interrater reliabilities for the Atypicality subscale, as well as the Depression and Hyperactivity subscales for comparison. Further analyses explored the influence of participant’s subscale scores, gender, and quality of relationships with adults on interrater agreement. Results All subscales demonstrated good internal consistency, however, interrater agreement was low for all subscales. Gender, Atypicality subscale score, and self-reported quality of relationships with adults could not account for poor interrater agreement. Conclusions The Atypicality subscale has strong internal consistency across informants. Low interrater agreement for the Atypicality subscale, as well as other scales, however, presents a challenge when interpreting multi-informant scales.

“…Although the assumptions, items, measures, and data collection processes of these tools differs, their common point is to identify the deficiencies, problems, and pathologies of the children and to provide a basis to decision makers by providing them the necessary information (Lappalainen, Savolainen, Kuorelahti, & Epstein, 2009, p. 746;Epstein, Ryser, & Pearson, 2002, p. 208). Nelson, Epstein, Griffith, and Hopper (2007) claimed that evaluation tools and screening scales aimed at children should meet some basic criteria. According to Walker, Ramsey, and Gresham (2004), screening scales should be short and easily applicable (Walker et al, 2004, as cited in Nelson et al, 2007.…”

This study aims to adapt the Early Childhood Behavior Problem Screening Scale (ECBPSS) to Turkish. This scale is developed to identify the behavioral problems of preschool children. The study used a cohort of 254 children (50% boys and 50% girls) selected randomly among 3-6 years old children attending to the independent kindergartens and nursery classes administered by Aksaray province national education directorate. We managed to obtained the teacher questionnaire for 235 children (51.1% boys and 48.9% girls) and the parent questionnaire for 254 children (50% boys and 50% girls). The scale is translated to Turkish and the psychometricsuit ability of the translation is evaluated. Its construct validity is tested with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Factor analyses showed that both the teacher and parent questionnaires of the Turkish version of ECBPSS consist a single dimension and nine items. For the reliability calculation of the scale, we used the Cronbach's alphainternal consistency coefficients and interrater correlation levels. Cronbach reliability coefficients of the teacher and parent questionnaires are 0.89 and 0.88, respectively. Interrater correlation value is found as 0.99. In conclusion, we managed to prepare a scale for the use of researchers, teachers, and field experts.
