Özet

This study reports on the validity and reliability of the Pre-school Behaviour Checklist (PBCL) to Turkish nursery children. Data were obtained from a total of 432 girls (47.89%) and 470 boys (52.10%) attending two type of nurseries, state (n = 505, 56%) and private (n = 397, 44%) in Ankara/Turkiye with a mean age of 51 months (SO. 11.12). The validity of the PBCL were examined by criterion and construct validity; the reliability of the PBCL, were examined by internal consistency, test-retest reliability and interrater agreement. The findings suggest that the PBCL has psychometric properties comparable to British sample (McGuire & Richman, 1986) and could be used with Turkish nursery children. © 1999 OPA (Overseas Publishers Association) N.V.
