The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) is a widely used method of identifying problem behavior in children.〔Achenbach, T.M., & Rescorla, L.A. (2000).

''Manual for the ASEBA School-Age Forms and Profiles.'' Burlington, VT: University of Vermont, Research Center for Children, Youth, and Families. ISBN 0-938565-73-7〕 It is a component in the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment developed by Thomas M. Achenbach. Problems are identified by a respondent who knows the child well, usually a parent or other care giver. Alternative measures are available for teachers (the Teacher's Report Form) and the child (the Youth Self Report). There are two versions of the checklist. The preschool checklist (CBCL/1½-5) is intended for use with children aged 18 months to 5 years. The school-age version (CBCL/6-18) is for children aged 6 to 18 years. It is an important measure for children's emotional, behavioural and social aspects of life. it is used as a diagnostic tool for a variety of behavioral and emotional problems such as attention deficit hyperactive disorder, oppositonal defiant disorder, conduct disorder, childhood depression, separation anxiety, childhood phobia, social phobia, specific phobia and a number of other childhood and adolescent issues. The checklists consists of a number of statements about the child's behavior, e.g. ''Acts too young for his/her age''. Responses are recorded on a Likert scale: 0 = Not True, 1 = Somewhat or Sometimes True, 2 = Very True or Often True. The preschool checklist contains 100 questions and the school-age checklist contains 120 questions. Similar questions are grouped into a number of ''syndromes'', e.g. ''Aggressive behavior'', and their scores are summed to produce a score for that syndrome. Some syndromes are further summed to provide scores for Internalizing and Externalizing problem scales. A total score from all questions is also derived. For each syndrome, problem scale and the total score, tables are given that determine whether the score represents ''normal'', ''borderline'', or ''clinical'' behavior. These categorizations are based on quantiles from a normative sample. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Child Behavior Checklist」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
