Abstract
This study is an Australian replication of the Achenbach and Edelbrock normative study on the Child Behaviour Checklist (1981). The sample of 1,300 children was obtained from Sydney and surrounding suburbs and therefore is urban and metropolitan. Norms for the Child Behaviour Problem scores are considerably higher than for American children, and in general. norms for the total Social Competence scores are lower. “Cut‐off” percentile equivalents to the American clinical cut‐orfs are provided, though it will be necessary to amass an Australian clinical sample before Australian cut‐off points can be confidently established.
