A psychometric analysis and standardization of the Behavior Assessment System for Children-2, Self-Report of Personality, Child Version among a Korean sample.

The psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Behavior Assessment System for Children-2, Self-Report of Personality, Child Form (K-BASC-2 SRP-C) are reported. A total of 1100 Korean children ages 8-11 years participated in the study to establish normative data. The results of this study generally supported the factor structure and reliability of the various clinical, adaptive, and composite scale scores of the K-BASC-2 SRP-C. A separate sample of 738 Korean children was used to examine the convergent validity of a subset of the K-BASC-2 SRP-C scales related to anxiety, depression, and attention problems. Results revealed generally strong psychometric properties of the K-BASC-2 SRP-C. The one exception was the Self-Esteem scale: its reliability is low.
