Resumen
COSTA-BALL, César Daniel; CRACCO, Cecilia; CUADRO, Ariel y LOPEZ GARCIA, Juan José. Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ): An update of the literature and instrumental study with schoolchildren. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.55, pp.140-148. Epub 12-Ene-2024. ISSN 0120-0534. https://doi.org/10.14349/rlp.2023.v55.16.
Introduction:
Considering the current controversy regarding the factorial structure of the SDQ, this paper aimed to analyse the dimensionality and reliability of the parents’ version for children from 4 to 16 years of age, and to present descriptive data according to sociodemographic variables.
Method:
The factor structure of the original five- and three-factor models, and the reliability of the SDQ were examined among a sample of 621 parents of Uruguayan children between 7 and 12 years of age (52% girls) from different socioeconomic levels.
Results:
Confirmatory factor analyses did not provide support for the five- and three-factor models. Data adjusted to three factors (prosociality, externalising symptoms, internalising symptoms) in an exploratory analysis with adequate reliability indices.
Conclusions:
The results of this study show the relevance of continued investigation of the SDQ internal structure, and further analysis of the behaviour of several of its items.
