Externalizing and Internalizing Subscales of Behavior Problems Index Working Paper, School of Nursing, University of Washington, Seattle WA, 2001 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: School of Nursing, University of Washington Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Modeling; Scale Construction Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The results of a psychometric analysis of the Behavior Problems Index (BPI), a short survey measure of socio-emotional adjustment of children 5-11 years old, were presented that identified internalizing and externalizing problem subscales. The BPI has been administered in a number of recent large, national family surveys, which used different definitions of the internalizing and externalizing scales. The analyses presented here were based on data from four national surveys. A new set of standardized externalizing and internalizing subscales were presented based on confirmatory factor analyses, reliability, and validity analyses. Internalizing and externalizing dimensions of maladjustment were correlated throughout childhood. The correlation of the proposed measures with other measures of socio-emotional adjustment were significant and in the expected direction. Analysis of the stability of the proposed internalizing and externalizing scores showed some predictability, but also substantial variation. |
