Growing evidence indicates that if disruptive behavior is left unidentified and untreated, a significant proportion of these problems will persist and may develop into problems linked with delinquency, substance abuse, and violence. Research is needed to develop valid and reliable measures of disruptive behavior to assist recognition and impact of treatments on disruptive behavior. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a scale for disruptive behavior in adolescents.
Six hundred high school students (50% girls), ages ranged 15-18 years old, selected through multi stage random sampling. Psychometrics of the disruptive behavior scale for adolescents (DISBA) (Persian version) was assessed through content validity, explanatory factor analysis (EFA) using Varimax rotation and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The reliability of this scale was assessed via internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
EFA revealed four factors accounting for 59% of observed variance. The final 29-item scale contained four factors: (1) aggressive school behavior, (2) classroom defiant behavior, (3) unimportance of school, and (4) defiance to school authorities. Furthermore, CFA produced a sufficient Goodness of Fit Index > 0.90. Test-retest and internal consistency reliabilities were acceptable at 0.85 and 0.89, respectively.
The findings from this study suggest that the Iranian version of DISBA questionnaire has content validity. Further studies are needed to evaluate stronger psychometric properties for DISBA.
越来越多的证据表明,如果破坏性行为未被识别和治疗,很大一部分此类问题将持续存在,并可能发展为与犯罪、药物滥用和暴力相关的问题。需要开展研究以开发有效且可靠的破坏性行为测量方法,以协助识别破坏性行为以及评估治疗对其的影响。本研究的目的是开发并评估青少年破坏性行为量表的心理测量特性。
通过多阶段随机抽样选取了600名高中生(50%为女生),年龄在15 - 18岁之间。通过内容效度、使用方差最大化旋转的探索性因素分析(EFA)和验证性因素分析(CFA)对青少年破坏性行为量表(DISBA)(波斯语版本)的心理测量特性进行评估。通过内部一致性和重测信度评估该量表的信度。
探索性因素分析揭示了四个因素,解释了59%的观测方差。最终的29项量表包含四个因素:(1)学校攻击性行为,(2)课堂违抗行为,(3)对学校不重视,(4)违抗学校权威。此外,验证性因素分析得出的拟合优度指数大于0.90,结果良好。重测信度和内部一致性信度分别为0.85和0.89,均可接受。
本研究结果表明,伊朗版本的DISBA问卷具有内容效度。需要进一步开展研究以评估DISBA更强的心理测量特性。
