from around the world. The Bibliography
of Published Studies Using the ASEBA (Bérubé
& Achenbach, 2010) provides references for all these studies
and thousands more.
ADM
Software Module for Ages 1½-5 with Multicultural Options
Based
on over 27,000 CBCLs and C-TRFs from 24 societies, the ADM
Module for Ages 1½-5 with Multicultural Options scores
problem scales with norms for societies
that have relatively low problem scores (Group 1 societies),
intermediate scores (Group 2), or high scores (Group 3). Select
societies by name or select Group 1, 2, or 3 norms for profiles
of syndrome, DSM-oriented, Internalizing, Externalizing, and
Total Problems scales. You can also select norms for displaying
scale scores in cross-informant bar graphs for up to 8 CBCLs
and C-TRFs per child. Scores from each form can even be displayed
in relation to more than one set of norms; e.g., display scores
from a CBCL completed by an immigrant parent with norms for
the parent’s home society and the host society. You can
then see whether scores are clinically deviant according to
either or both sets of norms. In addition to the syndrome
and DSM-oriented scales, the Module scores the 2010 Stress
Problems scale.
The Multicultural
Supplement to the Manual for the ASEBA Preschool Forms and
Profiles fully documents construction of the multicultural
norms for the CBCL/1½-5 and C-TRF. The Supplement illustrates
multicultural scoring, cross-informant comparisons, and practical
applications in school, mental health, medical, and forensic
contexts. The Supplement also reports multicultural findings
for confirmatory factor analyses, internal consistencies,
cross-informant correlations, and distributions of scale scores.
Updates are provided for the Language Development Survey (LDS)
of the CBCL/1½-5. Research guidelines and extensive
reviews of research on the instruments are also provided,
plus a bibliography of over 300 publications reporting their
use with young children.
ADM
Software Module for Ages 6-18 with Multicultural Options
You can
display CBCL/6-18, TRF, and YSR profiles of problem scale
scores in relation to three different sets of norms derived
from normative samples in many societies. The three sets of
norms are based on samples from societies
where problem scores were relatively low (designated as "Group
1"), medium ("Group 2"), or high ("Group
3"). Choose the norms most appropriate for evaluating
each child. For refugee, immigrant and other children for
whom more than one set of norms may be relevant, you can display
the children's scale scores in relation to one set of norms
and then another set. You can also display cross-informant
bar graphs in which the bars for each informant are based
on your choice of norms. If a child is from a society for
which normative data are not yet available, you can select
a society that you consider relevant, or you can select the
ASEBA Standard norms.
The
Multicultural Supplement to the Manual for the ASEBA School-Age
Forms & Profiles
fully documents the basis for the multicultural
norms, the construction of the 2007 scales, and relevant psychometric
data. It also provides extensive illustrations of practical
and research applications of the ADM Module for Ages 6-18
with Multicultural Options and 2007 Scales.
Multicultural
Guide for the ASEBA provides a quick introduction
to multicultural applications of the CBCL 1½-5, CBCL/6-18,
C-TRF, TRF, and YSR, plus practical illustrations and guidelines
for using the Modules for Ages 1½-5 and 6-18 with Multicultural
Options and the scales added in 2007 for ages 6-11 and the
scale added in 2010 for ages 1½-5.
Multicultural
Understanding of Child and Adolescent Psychopathology: Implications
for Mental Health Assessment by
T.M. Achenbach and L.A. Rescorla (2007) extensively documents
multicultural findings obtained with empirically based and
diagnostically based assessment instruments, including relations
between the two approaches and contributions of multicultural
research to understanding, assessing, preventing, and treating
psychopathology.
