Abstract
The present study aimed to conduct validity and reliability study for the Turkish version the Child Behavior Rating Scale (CBRS). Data from 591 children aging 30-72 months and attending to preschool education institutions were used for the purposes of the study. Content validity, construct validity, and criterion-referenced validity were examined for the validity analysis. It was seen that the model comprising of 17 items and 2 factors was well fit as a result of the confirmatory factor analysis conducted for testing the construct validity of the scale (χ2=1160.67, χ2 /sd= 4.88, RMSEA=0.09, CFI =0.97, NFI = 0.97, NNFI = 0.96, and IFI=0.97), Cronbach’s Alpha values as an indication of internal consistency, item-total score correlations, difference between 27% of higher and lower values, and test-retest reliability were examined for reliability analysis. Item-total score correlations difference between 0,56 and 0,87, 27% of higher and lower t values between 11.8 and 43.9. Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient for sub-domains of the scale was between .84 and .96. The findings of the study suggested that the Turkish version of the scale was a valid and reliable measurement instrument for use in assessment of self-regulation skills of preschool children.
