About Toddler Behavior Screening Inventory
Toddler Behavior Screening Inventory (TBSI; Mouton-Simien et al. 1997). The TBSI is a 40-item parent-report screening tool used to assess problem behaviors (e.g., aggression, noncompliance) in 12- to 41-month-olds. Behaviors are rated using a 3-point Likert scale (from not true to very true) on the frequency scale and whether or not each behavior is problematic (i.e., ‘‘Yes’’ or ‘‘No’’) on the problem scale. The TBSI was normed using a sample of 581 mothertoddler dyads (Mouton-Simien et al. 1997).
Results demonstrated good internal consistency for the frequency and problem scales, with Cronbach’s alpha of .88 and .90, respectively, although some item-total correlations were relatively low (range from .19 to .55). Two-week test-retest reliability for a subset of 30 mothers was also high for both scales (.89 and .68, respectively). In support of convergent validity, both scales were moderate to strongly correlated with the CBCL for ages 2–3 years (Achenbach, Edelbrock, and Howell 1987).
McCain et al. (1999) provided additional psychometric support using a sample of 362 mother-toddler dyads and demonstrated good internal consistency, with Cronbach’s alpha of .84 and .85 for the frequency and problem scales, respectively, although some item-total correlations were low (range from .18 to .63). Two-week test-retest reliability was high with a correlation of .83 for both scales. Convergent validity was supported by moderate correlations with the CBCL for ages 2–3 years.
Children who were clinically referred scored significantly higher on both scales than children who were not referred, demonstrating discriminative validity. The TBSI was designed for use at screenings and can be administered by paediatricians, psychologists, and other childcare professionals.
