The purpose of this study was to verify the ability of the K-CBCL Behavior Problem Scales to discriminate a variety of diagnostic cases, diagnostic accuracy as a screening tool, and criteria for the specific subtypes of diagnostic cases. The study sample included a total number of 585 elementary school students (male: 351, female: 234) in child welfare institutions who were diagnosed with behavioral problems by the DSM-IV, between 2013 and 2016. Cluster analysis identified four types of children with behavioral problems. Children in cluster 1 (n=201) had externalizing disorders. Children in cluster 2 (n=190) had intellectual disorders. Cluster 3 (n=118) had internalizing disorders. Cluster 4 (n=76) had combined disorders. The K-CBCL Behavior Problem Scales were validated by investigating the differences in the DSM-IV diagnosis groups. The externalizing disorder cluster (cluster 1) included the ADHD diagnosis group. The Intellectual disorder cluster (cluster 2) included the Mental Retardation group. Analyses distinguished children with externalizing disorders from those with intellectual disorders. For children with internalizing disorders, no pure internalizing disorders were found. Our results confirmed the specificity and complexity of behavior symptoms inherent in children's problems.
