There are numerous studies examining differences in the experience of disorders and symptoms of psychopathology in adolescents across racial or ethnic groups and sex. Though there is substantial research exploring potential factors that may influence these differences, few studies have considered the potential contribution of measurement properties to these differences. Therefore, this study examined whether there are differences across racial or ethnic groups and sex in the measurement of psychopathology, assessed in mother-reported behavior of 9-11 year old youth from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study sample using updated Child Behavior Checklist scales (CBCL; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001). Tests of measurement invariance of the CBCL utilized the higher order factor structure identified by Michelini et al. (2019) using this same Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development cohort. The dimensions include internalizing, somatoform, detachment, externalizing, and neurodevelopmental problems. The configural model had a good-to-excellent fit on all subscales of the CBCL across racial or ethnic groups and sex. The metric and scalar models fit just as well as the configural models, indicating that the scales are measuring the same constructs across racial or ethnic groups and sex and are not influenced by measurement properties of items on the CBCL, although some high-severity response options were not endorsed for youth in all racial or ethnic groups. These findings support the use of the CBCL in research examining psychopathology in racially or ethnically diverse samples of youth. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

在青少年大脑和认知发展 （ABCD） 研究中，测量儿童行为检查表 （CBCL） 跨种族/民族和性别的不变性。


有许多研究检查了不同种族或民族群体和性别的青少年疾病经历和精神病理学症状的差异。尽管有大量研究探讨了可能影响这些差异的潜在因素，但很少有研究考虑测量特性对这些差异的潜在贡献。因此，本研究检查了精神病理学测量是否存在种族或民族群体和性别的差异，使用更新的儿童行为检查量表 （CBCL;Achenbach & Rescorla， 2001）。CBCL 的测量不变性测试利用了 Michelini 等人 （2019） 使用相同的青少年大脑认知发展队列确定的高阶因子结构。这些维度包括内化、体型、分离、外化和神经发育问题。配置模型在 CBCL 的所有分量表上，跨种族或民族群体和性别的拟合为良好到极好。度量和标量模型与配置模型一样适合，表明量表跨种族或民族群体和性别测量相同的结构，并且不受 CBCL 上项目的测量属性的影响，尽管一些高严重性响应选项并未认可所有种族或民族群体的青少年。这些发现支持在 CBCL 研究中使用 CBCL 来检查不同种族或民族的青年样本中的精神病理学。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
