Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the validity, reliability and feasibility of Chinese version of Aggressive Behavior-Teacher' s Checklist (TCL) among preschool children. Methods TCL was translated and administered with Child Behavior Checklist (CBCI)-aggressive subscale to 148 preschool children in Shanghai. Validity and reliability of TCL was evaluated using standard psychometric analyses. Results Each item of Chinese version of TCL was significantly correlated with the subscale it belonged to(P<0. 01). The criterion validities of reactive aggressive subscale and proactive aggressive subscale among boys and girls were from 0.491 to 0. 733. The construct validity was also confirmed by factor analysis with 78.489% variance explained by two factors. Cronbach's alpha of TCL and its two subscales were 0. 891,0. 814, and 0. 880 respectively. The test-retest reliability and the inter-rater reliability coefficients of reactive aggressive subscale and proactive aggressive subscale were all above 0. 7. Conclusion Chinese version of Aggressive Behavior-Teachers Checklist has good validity and reliability among preschool children in Shanghai, and can be applied in kindergartens and schools to evaluate and deal with aggressive behavior among these children.
