The present study examined the psychometric properties of a brief parent-report daily checklist of toddler behavior (Parent Daily Report - Toddler Version; PDR-T). Data were collected from three groups of 18-36 month-olds who were followed longitudinally for approximately 1 year: 1) internationally adopted children ( = 156), 2) children placed in foster care due to child maltreatment ( = 79), and 3) community comparison children raised by their biological families ( = 80). An exploratory factor analysis of this measure resulted in three factors, measuring aggressive/noncompliant, positive, and distress behaviors. While there were estimation issues with the positive and distress factors, the aggressive/noncompliant factor exhibited invariance across time and groups, and partial invariance between genders. Significant correlations were observed between this factor and measures of externalizing behavior and inhibitory control ( = .26-.56), but not shyness, fearfulness, or negative affect. This provides support for both convergent and discriminant validity. Reliability of this factor was adequate to good across time and group. Results provide preliminary support for the utility, reliability, and consistency of one factor of the PDR-T as an easy parent-report tool to assess daily patterns and changes in child aggressive/noncompliant behavior over time.
本研究考察了一份简短的由家长报告的幼儿行为每日清单（《家长每日报告 - 幼儿版》；PDR - T）的心理测量特性。数据收集自三组年龄在18至36个月之间的儿童，对他们进行了为期约1年的纵向跟踪：1）国际收养儿童（n = 156），2）因遭受虐待而被安置在寄养家庭的儿童（n = 79），以及3）由亲生家庭抚养的社区对照儿童（n = 80）。对该测量工具进行探索性因素分析得出三个因素，分别测量攻击/不服从行为、积极行为和苦恼行为。虽然积极因素和苦恼因素存在估计问题，但攻击/不服从因素在时间和组间表现出不变性，在性别之间表现出部分不变性。该因素与外化行为和抑制控制的测量指标之间存在显著相关性（r = 0.26 - 0.56），但与害羞、恐惧或消极情绪无关。这为聚合效度和区分效度提供了支持。该因素的信度在时间和组间均足够好。研究结果为PDR - T中一个因素的实用性、信度和一致性提供了初步支持，该因素可作为一种简便的家长报告工具，用于评估儿童攻击/不服从行为随时间的日常模式和变化。
