The study examines the agreement among raters on children's problematic behaviors. A multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrix was applied to a normative sample of elementary school-aged children (N = 841). The participants were rated by their physical educators, using the Motor Behavior Checklist for children (MBC; Efstratopoulou, Janssen, & Simons, 2012). Teachers and parents rated the same students using the Teacher Report Form (TRF; Achenbach, 1991b), the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL; Achenbach, 1991a) and the ADHD Rating Scale-IV (DuPaul, Power, Anastopoulos, & Reid, 1998). The resulting matrix revealed significant correlations for the Rules Breaking, Lack of Attention, Hyperactivity/Impulsivity, Lack of Social interaction problem scale and for the Internalizing, Externalizing and Total scores. Convergent validity of the specific MBC subscales was supported by significant correlations with the corresponding subscales of TRF, CBCL and ADHD Rating Scale-IV. Findings underscore the importance of taking child's settings and observer influences into account and suggest that MBC is a new promising instrument that can provide valid ratings on externalizing behavior and social problems in children when used by physical educators in school settings.
本研究考察了评估者在儿童问题行为上的一致性。采用多特质-多方法（MTMM）矩阵对小学年龄儿童的常模样本（N=841）进行分析。参与者由他们的体育教育者使用儿童运动行为检查表（MBC；Efstratopoulou、Janssen 和 Simons，2012）进行评定。教师和家长使用教师报告表（TRF；Achenbach，1991b）、儿童行为检查表（CBCL；Achenbach，1991a）和 ADHD 评定量表-IV（DuPaul、Power、Anastopoulos 和 Reid，1998）对同一学生进行评定。得到的矩阵显示，在规则破坏、注意力缺乏、多动/冲动、缺乏社会互动问题量表以及内化、外化和总分方面存在显著相关性。特定 MBC 分量表的会聚效度得到了与 TRF、CBCL 和 ADHD 评定量表-IV 相应分量表的显著相关性的支持。研究结果强调了考虑儿童环境和观察者影响的重要性，并表明 MBC 是一种新的有前途的工具，当体育教育工作者在学校环境中使用时，可以对儿童的外化行为和社会问题提供有效的评定。
