Social-Emotional Assessment in Early Childhood: The Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales.
Merrell, Kenneth W.
Journal of Early Intervention, v20 n2 p132-45 Spr 1996
Psychometric evaluation of the Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales (PKBS) is reported. Factor analyses indicated the presence of a stable factor structure for both social skills and problem behaviors scales. Reliability studies indicated the PKBS has adequate-to-strong stability. Explorations of within-scale relationships yielded evidence of content validity and two forms of construct validity. (Author/DB)
