Behavior Problems and Social Skills in Preschool Children: Parent-Teacher Agreement and Relations with Classroom Observations.

Winsler, Adam; Wallace, Gregory L.

Early Education and Development, v13 n1 p41-58 Jan 2002

Examined psychometric properties of the Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales with preschoolers. Found that cross- informant correlations were poor for social skills, low for internalizing behaviors, and modest for externalizing behaviors. Parents and teachers rated boys as having more externalizing behaviors than girls. Parents identified more behavior problems than did teachers. Only teacher reports related to children's classroom behavior. (Author/KB)
