Purpose:This study was done to test the validity and reliability of the Adolescent Mental Problem Questionnaire (AMPQ) for Korean high school students.
Methods:The AMPQ was designed to assess adolescents’ mental health status and problem behavior (Ahn, 2006). A methodological study design was used with exploratory factor analysis, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and a fitness of the modified model for validity. Also, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients and alternative-form method for reliability were used. AMPQ was tested with a sample of 36,313 high school students. The participants consisted of 18,701 males and 17,612 females.
Results:Seven factors were extracted through factor analysis: ’Psychiatric problems’, ’Delinquency’, ’Academic troubles’, ’Family problems’, ’Hazardous behavior’, ’Harmful circumstance’, ’Eating problems’. These factors explained 51.1% of the total variance. The fitness of the modified model was good (χ2=38,413.76, Goodness of Fit Index [GFI]=.94, Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index [AGFI]=.93, Comparative Fit Index [CFI]=.95, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation [RMSEA]=.05), and concurrent validity with Korea-Youth Self-Report [K-YSR] was .63. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the 31 items was .85.
Conclusion:The results of present study suggest that the modified AMPQ instrument may be useful for efficiently assessing mental health status and problem behavior in late adolescent, high school students.
