Abstract Details

2008, MA, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Psychological Sciences.
The present study examined the factor structure of the Intensity and Problem scales of the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI) by conducting a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) on the 3-factor model of the Intensity scale proposed by Burns and Patterson (2000), and an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and CFA on the Problem scale of the ECBI. Participants were 1164 and 1136 primary caregivers recruited from pediatric offices’ waiting areas for the Intensity scale and Problem scale, respectively. Results indicated that the 3-factor model was an adequate fit for the Intensity scale. Multisample analyses were conducted to determine the fit of the model across different community samples. The model was adequate across sex and age, and for Caucasian and African American participants. The EFA of the Problem scale resulted in a 1-factor solution. However, the fit indices of the CFA of the Problem scale indicated an inadequate fit of the 1-factor model to the observed data; therefore, the current study did not find any adequate factor solution of the Problem scale.
