          Abstract

          Zusammenfassung. Die vorliegende Studie überprüft die Faktorenstruktur, psychometrischen Eigenschaften und Grenzwerte der deutschen Selbstbeurteilungsversion des Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ-Deu-S). Die Daten dieser Studie basieren auf einer Stichprobe von N = 1 501 Kindern und Jugendlichen im Alter von 11 bis 16 Jahren. Die angenommene Fünf-Faktoren-Struktur des SDQ-Deu-S konnte anhand exploratorischer und konfirmatorischer Faktorenanalysen bestätigt werden. Die Reliabilitäten der fünf Skalen (Cronbachs Alpha .55 – .77, Retest .58 – .67) fielen jedoch gering aus. Lediglich die SDQ-Gesamtproblemskala erreichte eine zufriedenstellende interne Konsistenz. Es werden alters- und geschlechtsspezifische Grenzwerte vorgeschlagen, die sich an die von Goodman (1997) empfohlenen Zielvorgaben von 80 – 10 – 10 % für die Bestimmung von Grenzwerten in die drei Kategorien unauffällig, grenzwertig und auffällig anlehnen: Die Grenzwerte für die meisten SDQ-Subskalen liegen um etwa einen Punkt und für die SDQ-Gesamtproblemskala um max. zwei Punkte niedriger als die Grenzwerte für die SDQ-Selbstberichtsversion von Goodman, Meltzer und Bailey (1998).

          The German Self-Report Version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ-Deu-S): Psychometric Properties, Factor Structure, and Critical Values

          Abstract. The present study examines factor structure, psychometric properties, and critical values of the German self-report version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ-Deu-S). The data of this study are based on a sample of 1 501 children and adolescents aged 11 to 16 years. The assumed five-factor structure was confirmed by exploratory as well as confirmatory factor analyses. However, the reliability of the five scales (Cronbach’s α .55 – .77, retest .58 – .67) was low. Only the Total Difficulties Scale revealed a satisfactory internal consistency. Gender- and age-specific critical values are suggested based on Goodman’s (1997) target of having 80 %, 10 %, and 10 % in the normal, borderline, and abnormal categories, respectively: The critical values for most of the SDQ subscales are one point lower and for the Total Difficulties Scale no more than two points lower than the recommended critical values for the British SDQ self-report version of Goodman, Meltzer, and Bailey (1998) .

          Psychometric Properties of the Parent and Teacher Versions of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire for 4- to 12-Year-Olds: A Review

          Since its development, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) has been widely used in both research and practice. The SDQ screens for positive and negative psychological attributes. This review aims to provide an overview of the psychometric properties of the SDQ for 4- to 12-year-olds. Results from 48 studies (N = 131,223) on reliability and validity of the parent and teacher SDQ are summarized quantitatively and descriptively. Internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and inter-rater agreement are satisfactory for the parent and teacher versions. At subscale level, the reliability of the teacher version seemed stronger compared to that of the parent version. Concerning validity, 15 out of 18 studies confirmed the five-factor structure. Correlations with other measures of psychopathology as well as the screening ability of the SDQ are sufficient. This review shows that the psychometric properties of the SDQ are strong, particularly for the teacher version. For practice, this implies that the use of the SDQ as a screening instrument should be continued. Longitudinal research studies should investigate predictive validity. For both practice and research, we emphasize the use of a multi-informant approach.

            Construct validity of the five-factor Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) in pre-, early, and late adolescence.

            The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is designed to measure psychological adjustment in children and adolescents. Psychometric evaluations of the instrument have shown satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity, while factor analysis studies have shown mixed results across countries. In the present study, the construct validity of the five-factor SDQ is evaluated in a large community sample of Norwegian pre-, early, and late adolescents. The sample consisted of 26,269 children and adolescents (10-19 years) with valid answers on all 25 items of the SDQ self-report. Complete parent/proxy data of respective pre-adolescent children was available for 6,645 cases. A Lisrel approach to Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate the five-factor model and the presence of a positive construal factor. In the sample of pre-adolescents and their parents/proxies, convergent and discriminant validity was evaluated by a CFA approach to multitrait-multimethods (MTMM). Fit statistics for the hypothesized five-factor model were satisfactory, but introducing correlated error terms for some of the items led to significant model improvement in all age groups. All factor loadings were higher than .30, except for item 11 (good friend). The loadings differed across age groups and differed markedly between the parent/proxy and self-report measures. The MTMM showed that the source of ratings made a difference on the validity of all subscale ratings, with self-reports discriminating more on ratings of emotional and peer problems, and parents/proxies discriminating more on hyperactivity symptoms. A positive construal factor was identified but had a modest effect compared with the original five traits. Results suggested an unclear construct and meaning of the Prosocial behaviour subscale. The results of the present study indicated support for the proposed five-factor structure of the SDQ (Goodman, 2001) across a wide age range (10-19years), including older adolescents and different informants. However, some improvements should be considered to improve internal reliability and conceptual clarity.

              [Normal values and evaluation of the German parents' version of Strengths and DIfficulties Questionnaire (SDQ): Results of a representative field study].

              The (SDQ) is a short questionnaire which addresses positive and negative behavioural attributes of children or adolescents. Being rated by parents or teachers, or as an equivalent self-report version, the 25 SDQ items were designed to include both strengths and difficulties. Although several reports have demonstrated the validity of the German SDQ, normative data have not yet been established. In a nationwide representative field study, parent ratings were completed for 930 children and adolescents aged between 6 and 16 years. Following verification of the scale structure by factor analysis, the observed distributions of scores were used to define normal, borderline, and abnormal score ranges. Possible effects of gender, age, and social class were also investigated. Factor analysis yielded an exact replication of the original scales. Several associations with gender, age, and social status attained statistical significance, but cut-off scores for the five subscales remained stable in different subgroups. Age- and sex-specific bandings for the total problem score reflected small differences between homogeneous subgroups. After replication and confirming the original scale factors, the availability of normative data further enhances the diagnostic value of the SDQ and facilitates future validation studies. Present evidence suggests that the SDQ may serve as a useful and economical screening measure, and in many other clinical and research settings.
