Reliability of children's communication checklist

Abstract

It was not until last year that Children's Communication Checklist-2 (CCC-2) began to be used in our country. Up to now, there was no information on psychometric properties of the Serbian translation of the Scale. The objective of this research was to establish reliability of the CCC-2. The sample consisted of 1344 students, of both sexes, aged from 4 to 17. For each participant two rating forms were independently completed, by a teacher and by parent. It was revealed that internal consistency was quite acceptable (Cronbach's (α >.6), with an exception of the second subscale. On the other hand, virtually there were no inter-rater agreement between parental and teachers assessment. An existing version of the Children's Communication Checklist-2 has to be refined in future research.

Sve do prošle godine Komunikaciona čeklista za decu 2 (SSS-2) nije bila korišćena u našoj sredini, tako da do sada nismo imali podatke o psihometrijskim karakteristikama srpskog prevoda Skale. Cilj ovog rada je da utvrdi relijabilnost SSS-2. Uzorak čini 1344 ispitanika, oba pola, starosti između 4 i 17 godina. Za svakog ispitanika Skalu su popunili roditelj i nastavnik, nezavisno jedan od drugog. Ustanovljeno je da je interna konzistentnost, izražena kroz vrednost Kronbahovog alfa koeficijenta, uglavnom prihvatljiva, sa izuzetkom druge podskale. S druge strane, praktično nije ustanovljena bilo kakva saglasnost u proceni nastavnika i roditelja. Dobijeni podaci ukazuju na neophodnost daljeg usavršavanja Skale u budućim istraživanjima.
