PY - 2018 DA - 2018/11/03 TI - Validation of a cross-cultural instrument for child behavior problems: the Disruptive Behavior International Scale – Nepal version JO - BMC Psychology SP - 51 VL - 6 IS - 1 AB - Obtaining accurate and valid measurements of disruptive behavior disorders remains a challenge in non-Western settings due to variability in societal norms for child behavior and a lack of tools developed outside of Western contexts. This paper assesses the reliability and construct validity of the Disruptive Behavior International Scale – Nepal version (DBIS-N)—a scale developed using ethnographic research in Nepal—and compares it with a widely used Western-derived scale in assessing locally defined child behavior problems.
