Different
norms can be selected for a child’s CBCL, TRF, and
YSR scores. If the norms are unavailable for a society,
you can elect default norms or other norms deemed appropriate
for the child. Different norms can be selected for a child’s
CBCL, TRF, and YSR forms. The same scale scores can also
be displayed with different norms.
School-Age
(CBCL/6-18, TRF & YSR) Scales
The
Module includes the 2007 Obsessive-Compulsive Problems,
Posttraumatic Stress Problems, Sluggish Cognitive Tempo
(not on YSR), and Positive Qualities (YSR only)
scales.
Empirically
Based Syndromes Scales scored from the CBCL/6-18,
TRF, and YSR are based on factor analyses coordinated
across the forms.

DSM-oriented
scales comprise items identified by experts from 16
cultures as very consistent with DSM-IV categories. The
six DSM-oriented scales are:
|
Affective Problems
Anxiety
Problems
Somatic
Problems
|
Attention
Deficit/Hyperactivity Problems
Oppositional
Defiant Problems
Conduct
Problem

The DSM-oriented
scales are scored from all three forms. Inattention and
Hyperactivity-Impulsivity subscales are also scored
from the TRF Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Problems scale.
Response
to Intervention (RTI)
ASEBA provides optimal evidence-based, normed tools for
identifying intervention needs, monitoring progress, and
evaluating responses to interventions for behavioral,
emotional, and social problems.
Revisions
of Forms:
We
have revised the school-age forms in 2001 by replacing
problem items that were unscored or rare with items that
sharpen assessment of important syndromes. Factor analyses
showed that the new items concerning alcohol and tobacco
use and breaking rules load on the syndrome designated
as Rule-Breaking Behavior, which is a revision of the
Delinquent Behavior syndrome. The new items concerning
failure to finish tasks and being easily distracted load
on the revised Attention Problems syndrome. The new item
concerning lack of enjoyment loads on the Withdrawn/Depressed
syndrome, which is a revision of the Withdrawn syndrome.
The
revised school-age forms also feature new DSM-oriented
scales. The scales were constructed by having experienced
child psychiatrists and psychologists from 16 cultures
rate the consistency of ASEBA school-age items with DSM-IV
categories.
The
following items were changed from the 1991 forms:
CBCL/4-18
changed to CBCL/6-18
Items changed: #2, #4, #5, #28, #78, #99
YSR/11-18
still YSR/11-18
Items changed: #2, #4, #5, #28, #78, #99
TRF/5-18
changed to TRF/6-18
Items changed: #5, #28, #99
