Poor early childhood self‐regulation is related to many mental health problems and antisocial behaviours, so it is important to use psychometrically sound instruments to assess children's self‐regulation and behavioural development. The aim of this study is to report the translation, adaptation, as well as explore the construct validity of the child self‐regulation & behaviour questionnaire (CSBQ) for the Brazilian context. The process consisted of different steps, such as transcultural translation, item intelligibility analysis, and psychometric analysis based on classical and contemporary theories. The validation process was carried out on a sample of 277 parents/caregivers (35.00 ± 6.72 years old) of 281 children (4.92 ± 1.45 years old; 156 females). The final Brazilian version showed adequate values of semantic, idiomatic, and conceptual equivalence. The validation process resulted in a seven‐dimensional model with 33 items. The validation of Brazilian CSBQ is promising for investigating early self‐regulation and behaviour problems in low‐middle income contexts.

巴西环境下儿童自我调节和行为问卷有效性的证据


幼儿期自我调节能力差与许多心理健康问题和反社会行为有关，因此使用心理测量学上可靠的工具来评估儿童的自我调节和行为发展非常重要。本研究的目的是报告儿童自我调节和行为问卷（CSBQ）在巴西背景下的翻译、改编，并探讨其结构有效性。该过程由不同的步骤组成，例如跨文化翻译、项目可理解性分析以及基于古典和当代理论的心理测量分析。验证过程以 281 名儿童（4.92 ± 1.45 岁；156 名女性）的 277 名父母/照顾者（35.00 ± 6.72 岁）为样本进行。最终的巴西版本显示了足够的语义、惯用和概念对等值。验证过程产生了一个包含 33 个项目的七维模型。巴西 CSBQ 的验证有望用于调查中低收入环境中的早期自我监管和行为问题。
