The assessment of psychopathology in persons with mental retardation requires reliable and valid instruments. In the present study, the reliability of the Child Behavior Checklist was determined, using data of 42 children and youth with mild mental retardation, with ages from 10 to 18 years. Kappa coefficients and intra-class correlations were computed to determine the reliability at item level and syndrome level. At item level, mean kappa's for inter-rater and test-retest reliability were 0.267 and 0.52, respectively. At syndrome level, mean intra-class correlations for inter-rater and test-retest reliability were 0.493 and 0.775, respectively. These results suggest that the Child Behavior Checklist may not always represent a reliable checklist for the assessment of psychopathology among children and youth with mild mental retardation.
对智力迟钝者精神病理学的评估需要可靠且有效的工具。在本研究中，利用42名年龄在10至18岁之间的轻度智力迟钝儿童和青少年的数据，确定了儿童行为量表的可靠性。计算卡帕系数和组内相关性以确定项目水平和综合征水平的可靠性。在项目水平上，评分者间和重测信度的平均卡帕系数分别为0.267和0.52。在综合征水平上，评分者间和重测信度的平均组内相关性分别为0.493和0.775。这些结果表明，儿童行为量表可能并不总是评估轻度智力迟钝儿童和青少年精神病理学的可靠量表。
