Interpreting Scale Score Differences on the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist

Auburn University

Provided critical values to determine significant differences between scale scores on the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist (RBPC). Although one method of interpreting the RBPC consists of pairwise comparisons among an individual's scale scores, several psychometric issues concerning such a procedure are apparent. An ipsative strategy provides a psychometrically tenable approach for interpreting within-child differences. This strategy compares differences between each scale score and the mean of all scale scores with critical difference values to ascertain statistical significance. An example of the procedure is provided.
