Revision and Restandardization of the Conners Teacher Rating Scale (CTRS-R): Factor Structure, Reliability, and Criterion Validity

摘要: The Conners Teacher Rating Scale (CTRS) is a commonly used research and clinical tool for assessing children's behavior in the classroom. present study introduces revised CTRS (CTRS-R) which improves on original by (1) establishing normative data from large, representative North American sample, (2) deriving factor structure using advanced statistical techniques, (3) updating item content to reflect current conceptualizations of childhood disorders. Using confirmatory analysis, six-factor was found includes Hyperactivity-Impulsivity, Perfectionism, Inattention/Cognitive Problems, Social Oppositionality, Anxious/Shy factors. reliability scale, as measured test-retest correlations internal consistency, generally satisfactory. all scale factors discriminate between attention deficit hyperactivity disordered normal children, 85 percent children were correctly classified, supporting validity indicating excellent utility. Similarities differences CTRS-R are discussed.
