TLDR
Results of the CFA support Achenbach's eight-correlated-factor model and provide additional evidence of the construct validity of the scores obtained from the CBCV/4-18.
Abstract
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate the factor structure of T. M. Achenbach's eight cross-informant syndrome scales of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCIJ4-18) using data genera...

National Adolescent and Child Treatment Study (NACTS) Outcomes for Children with Serious Emotional and Behavioral Disturbance

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compile descriptive data on children with serious emotional disturbance (SED), including demographic and family characteristics, level of psychological and adaptive functioning, services received, and outcomes or how the children fared over time.

Rationally and empirically derived dimensions of children's symptomatology: expert ratings and confirmatory factor analyses of the CBCL.

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative system for scoring the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL; T. M. Achenbach, 1991) was developed to measure specific dimensions corresponding to current conceptualizations of child symptomatology.

Some Psychometric Properties of the Ghent Parental Behavior Scale.

TL;DR: The Ghent Parental Behavior Questionnaire (GPBS) as discussed by the authors is based on social-learning theories and parents rate the frequency of their behavior toward a target child between 8 and 14 years old, and children rate the behavior of their parents.

The search for dimensional structure differences between normality and abnormality: a statistical review of published data on personality and psychopathology.

TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical review of published data for 37 personality and psychopathology inventories was conducted to determine whether there are dimensional structure differences between clinical and nonclinical respondents, and the dimensional universes of normality and abnormality are apparently the same, at least according to data derived from contemporary assessment instruments.

Comparative fit indexes in structural models

TL;DR: A new coefficient is proposed to summarize the relative reduction in the noncentrality parameters of two nested models and two estimators of the coefficient yield new normed (CFI) and nonnormed (FI) fit indexes.

Significance tests and goodness of fit in the analysis of covariance structures

TL;DR: In this article, a general null model based on modified independence among variables is proposed to provide an additional reference point for the statistical and scientific evaluation of covariance structure models, and the importance of supplementing statistical evaluation with incremental fit indices associated with the comparison of hierarchical models.
