Abstract

This study examines the construct validity of a 16-item version of the Integrated Teacher Report Form (ITRF), a universal screening tool to assess students' externalizing behavior problems in the classroom. The ITRF as well as another of three established screening tools were completed for 1048 first- to sixth-graders by 107 teachers. The Multitrait-Multimethod (MT-MM) correlation matrix was used to analyze convergent and discriminant validity. In addition, the Correlated Trait-Correlated Method minus 1 [CT-C(M-1)] model was used to analyze the influence of the constructs (Academic Productivity Problems, Oppositional/Disruptive Behavior) and the methods (ITRF, additional screener) on the variance. The MT-MM matrix indicate both convergent and discriminant validity. The variance in the ITRF scores attributable to the underlying construct was higher than the variance attributable to method specific influences. Therefore, the screener is suitable for practical interpretation and use.
