Abstract
Results
The findings showed moderate to good internal consistency and test-retest reliability, although stability increased with age.
Factor structure concerning generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder displayed ambiguous results. Comparing
special education with public school children revealed that both parents and children in special education reported significantly
more problems on almost all scales. The results on informant correspondence revealed that discrepancies in reports were not
consistent across individual pairs; they were due to a few extreme cases. Eliminating these cases increased the agreement
in reports.
