Abstract

A Dutch version of the EPQ-R (junior) (Corulla, Personality and Individual Differences, 11, 65–76, 1990) was applied to 260 school children (143 males and 117 females). The analyses of Corulla were repeated. Substantially the same results were found on both the factor and scale level. The EPQ-R (junior) is, as a result, recommended for use in the Netherlands. For applied research, however, the reliability of the P scale will need amelioration.

    Citation Excerpt :

    A total score can be computed by summing the yes-responses on all items (range 0–12), with higher scores reflecting higher levels of neuroticism. The psychometric properties of the short version of the JEPQ are satisfactory (Corulla, 1990; de Bruyn, Delsing, & Welten, 1995; Scholte & de Bruyn, 2001). The short version of the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS; Chorpita, Yim, Moffitt, Umemoto, & Francis, 2000) is a 25-item scale for measuring symptoms of DSM-defined anxiety disorders and depression.
