Abstract

The clinical validity of the Korean version of Child Behavior Checkist(CBCL) as a screening instrument was evaluated through verifying the ability to discriminate clinically referred children from the non referred. The results were as follows ; 1) The mean total social competence score and three subscale scores of the referred children were significantly lower(p<.001) than those of the non referred children. 2) The mean total behavior problem score and several subscale scores of the referred children were significantly higher(p<.001) than those of the non referred children 3) Through assessing each item, only one item for boys and five item for girls of twenty-three social competence items had less discriminating ability. 4) Of one hundred eighteen behavior problem items, ten items for boys and fourteen items for girls showed insignificant differences between two groups. The results were discussed in terms of the reason why those items had less discriminating power in korea than in the U.S., And the partial modification of the Korean version of CBCL was recommended.

부모 설문을 통해 소아, 청소년의 정서 및 행동문제를 파악하기 위한 한국판 행동조사표(Child Behavior Checklist, CBCL)의 임상유용도를 검증하기 위해 정상군과 임상군을 변별하는 능력을 평가하였다. 양군의 전체점수와 척도별 점수를 비교하면 p<.001로 임상군 변별력이 매우 높으나 각 문항별로 점수를 비교할 경우, 사회능력척도에서 남자 1문항, 여자 5문항, 문제행동 척도에서 남자 10문항, 여자 14문항이 임상군 변별력이 다소 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이에 대한 원인을 살펴보고 수정, 보완하기 위한 방법을 제시하였다.
