Abstract

ROAMA-ALVES, Rauni Jandé  and  AMORIM, Rosimeire de Moraes. The Brazilian CBCL/6-18 inventory: review of evidence of validity and reliability. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.22, n.1, pp.33-41.  Epub May 03, 2024. ISSN 1677-0471.  https://doi.org/10.15689/ap.2023.2201.21503.04.

The Brazilian translation of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) 6-18, the “Inventory of Childhood and Adolescence Behaviors”, assesses social competence and behavior problems in individuals aged 6 to 18 years through the report of parents/guardians. However, its studies of evidence of validity and reliability for Brazil are not presented in the manual, at least up until the time of this study, in the second half of 2020. Therefore, the aim of this study was to verify the evidence of validity and reliability of the Brazilian version of the CBCL, through a literature review. As a result, six publications were found, which indicated, for the most part, good psychometric qualities. However, care must be taken when generalizing the data to the current commercial version, as the studies investigated previous versions of the instrument. In addition, more up-to-date research is needed, aiming to increase the evidence of validity and reliability.
