Objectives : The Purpose of this study is to investigate the reliability and validity of Korean Parent and Teacher Conners´ Rating Scale.
Methods : Randomly selected 1 st to 6th graders of the two elementary schools (N=1044) in Anyang City participated in the study. Children diagnosed with ADHD (N=23) at the child and adolescent clinic at a university affiliated hospital were included in the study for the analysis of clinical validity of the scales. Parent and teacher completed Korean Conners´ Rating Scale and Korean-ADHD Rating Scale (KARS). In addition, parents completed Korean-Children Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL) . Descriptive statistics, t-test, and analysis of variance were performed.
Results : Scores of Korean Conners´ Parents Rating Scale were significantly correlated with those of Korean Conners Teacher Rating Scale. High internal consistency reliability were demonstrated in both parent and teacher rating scales. There were significant correlations among sub-scales of Conners´ Rating Scales, K-CBCL and K-ARS. Factor analyses revealed that the K-CTRS had three-factor structure (Inattention-Passivity, Hyperactivity, Conduct Problem) and the K-CPRS had five-factor structure (Impulsive-Hyperactive, Conduct Problem 1, Anxiety, Psychosomatic, Conduct Problem II). Conners´ Rating Scales effectively distinguish children with ADHD from children without ADHD.
Conclusion : Korean Parent and Teacher Conners´ Rating Scales are valid and reliable instruments that are useful for screening and identifying childhood problem behaviors. Future studies are required with a larger number of sample sizes including adolescents from various geographic regions.
