"Research Findings": The Problematic Media Use Measure (PMUM) assesses young children's excessive or problematic media use. The current study aims to translate the original English version of PMUM into a Chinese version and validate it with Chinese preschoolers (ages 3 to 6). The instrument was translated, back-translated, pretested, and…

Lecavalier, Luc; Gadow, Kenneth D.; Devincent, Carla J.; Houts, Carrie R.; Edwards, Michael C. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2011
Behavior and emotional problems are often present in very young children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) but their nosology has been the object of scant empirical attention. The objective of this study was to assess the construct validity of select "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" ("DSM)"--defined…

Egeland, Jens; Kovalik-Gran, Iwona – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2010
Objective: A previous factor analysis of the Conners' Continuous Performance Test (CCPT) indicates that the test measures 5 sub-functions of attention, namely "focused attention," "hyperactivity/impulsivity," "sustained attention," "vigilance," and "change in control." The present study further…

Wiersema, Jan R.; Roeyers, Herbert – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2009
As effortful control (EC), the self-regulation aspect of temperament, has been argued to play a key role in the normal and psychopathological course of development, research adding to the construct validity of EC is needed. In the current study, interrelations between the temperament construct of EC and the efficiency of the executive attention…

Van Roy, Betty; Veenstra, Marijke; Clench-Aas, Jocelyne – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2008
Background: The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is designed to measure psychological adjustment in children and adolescents. Psychometric evaluations of the instrument have shown satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity, while factor analysis studies have shown mixed results across countries. In the present study, the…

Burns, G. Leonard; Desmul, Chris; Walsh, James A.; Silpakit, Chatchawan; Ussahawanitchakit, Phapruke – Psychological Assessment, 2009
Confirmatory factor analysis was used with a multitrait (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-inattention, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-hyperactivity/impulsivity, oppositional defiant disorder toward adults, academic competence, and social competence) by multisource (mothers and fathers) matrix to test the invariance and…

This study compared teachers' ratings of behavioral and emotional problems on the Teacher's Report Form for general population samples in 21 countries (N = 30,957). Correlations between internal consistency coefficients in different countries averaged 0.90. Effects of country on scale scores ranged from 3% to 13%. Gender effects ranged from less…

Norvilitis, Jill M.; Ingersoll, Travis; Zhang, Jie; Jia, Shuhua – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2008
Objective: The present study examined ADHD symptoms among college students in China and the United States. Method: A total of 283 (45%) American and 343 (55%) Chinese students completed the Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS) and the Current Symptoms Scale (CSS), in addition to other measures. Results: Both of the ADHD measures appear to be reliable…

Burns, G. Leonard; de Moura, Marcela Alves; Walsh, James A.; Desmul, Chris; Silpakit, Chatchawan; Sommers-Flanagan, John – Psychological Assessment, 2008
Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the invariance of an oppositional defiant disorder toward adults, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-hyperactivity/impulsivity, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-inattention, and an Academic Competence factor model between mothers' and fathers' ratings within Brazilian (n = 894), Thai (n =…

Investigated the Type A Behavior Pattern (TABP) in 25 boys of 6-12 years who had attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD boys obtained higher TABP Total and Impatience- Aggression scores than normal boys. ADHD boys' scores were associated with a wide array of behavior problems and peer difficulties. (RJC)

Peer reviewedCulbertson, William C.; Zillmer, Eric A. – Assessment, 1998
The construct-related validity of the Tower of London-Drexel (TOL-DX), a measure of executive functioning (W. Culbertson and A. Zillmer, 1995) was studied with 129 children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Results show that the TOL-DX loads prominently on an Executive Planning/Inhibition factor while separating for factors…

Peer reviewedErford, Bradley T.; Peyrot, Mark; Siska, Laura – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 1998
Reliability and construct validity, including confirmatory factor analysis, of the ASQ-T were examined. Conners's 1989 and Margalit's 1983 factor models were compared on a new sample (N=70 teachers). Psychometric properties of the ASQ-T were examined, particularly its utility as a measure of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and comorbidity…

Construct validity and diagnostic utility of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition, Freedom from Distractibility Scale (FFD) was studied with a sample of 40 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Results support the construct validity of the FFD but cast doubt on its diagnostic utility. (SLD)

Peer reviewedGomez, Rapson; Burns, G. Leonard; Walsh, James A.; Hafetz, Nina – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2005
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to model a multitrait by multisource matrix to determine the convergent and discriminant validity of measures of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-inattention (IN), ADHD-hyperactivity/impulsivity (HI), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) in 917 Malaysian elementary school children. The…

Two studies investigated the construct validity of the Home and Community Social Behavior Scales (HCSBS), a new behavior rating scale for assessing children's social behavior, and relationships between characteristics of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and children's social behavior. Results indicated a strong link between social behavior…
