The Yale Children's Inventory rating scales for completion by parents were developed to improve the ability of clinicians and researchers to evaluate the school-related problems of children. The inventory consists of 11 narrow-band and two broad-band scales, the Behavioral and the Cognitive. The concurrent and predictive validity of the Yale Children's Inventory scales are reported in a school-based sample of 103 boys. External criterion variables were obtained from parents, teachers, and standardized tests administered to the children. We found that the Attention scale overlaps both broad-band domains, indicating the importance and the intrinsic relationship of attention to both behavioral and cognitive functions, which supports the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, ed 3 nosology for disorders of attention and activity regulation. It also increases the number of children whose assessment may be enhanced by the availability of systematic parent report forms.
耶鲁儿童量表由家长完成，旨在提高临床医生和研究人员评估儿童学校相关问题的能力。该量表包括11个窄带量表和两个宽带量表，即行为量表和认知量表。在一个由103名男孩组成的学校样本中报告了耶鲁儿童量表的同时效度和预测效度。外部标准变量来自家长、教师以及对儿童进行的标准化测试。我们发现，注意力量表与两个宽带领域都有重叠，这表明注意力对行为和认知功能的重要性及内在关系，这支持了《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版中关于注意力和活动调节障碍的分类法。这也增加了可通过系统的家长报告表来加强评估的儿童数量。
