ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine reliability and validity of the Early Screening Project(ESP), which was developed by Walker, Severson & Feil(1995), by applying the ESP to Korean preschoolers who are to go through the emotional and behavioral disorder screening. Specific research problems were: First, reliability of Gate 1 of ESP was examined; second, reliability and validity of Scales of Gate 2〔(Critical Events Index, Aggressive Behavior Scale, Social Interaction Scale, Combined Frequency Index(Adaptive Behavior, Maladaptive Behavior)〕was examined; third, reliability and validity of Direct observation/Parent Questionnaire of Gate 3 was examined; fourth, intercorrelations among the scales of Gate 2 and Direct observation/Parent Questionnaire of Gate 3 were examined; and fifth, Consistency across the scales of Gate 2 and Direct observation/Parent Questionnaire of Gate 3 were examined. The result showed that teacher recommendation in Gate 1 was highly reliable, and Scales in Gate 2 showed high reliability and validity. Direct observation in Gate 3 had a difference among three groups (normal group, externalization group, internalization group). Parent Questionnaire(item of playing with other children and getting along with caregivers) of Gate 3 showed high reliability and validity. Correlation between the scales in Gate 2 and Direct observation/Parent Questionnaire(item of playing with other children and getting along with caregivers) of Gate 3 varied in Correlation coefficient. Scales in Gate 2 andDirect observation/Parent Questionnaire(item of playing with other children and getting along with caregivers) of Gate 3 showed in Consistency. This study discussed a ways to enhance the validity of ESP based on the analyzed results.
