Abstract
The Preschool Behavior Questionnaire is a teacher rating instrument yielding a total score reflecting overall level of adjustment and three subscale scores labeled Hostile/Aggressive, Anxious/Fearful, and Hyperactive/Distractible. This study assessed the convergent and discriminant validity of this teacher rating measure against two alternative measures within a multitrait-multimethod analysis. The results supported the construct validity of the Hostile/Aggressive and Anxious/Fearful scores as well as the overall score. There was, however, no support for the validity of the Hyperactive/Distractible score.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
