Abstract
This study examined the psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of the Developmental Behavior Checklist – Parent (DBC-P) in an intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) sample of children and adolescents (N = 168). Internal consistency was adequate to excellent for all scales (Cronbach’s alpha ranged between .70–.96). The DBC-P showed meaningful overlap with and differentiation from the Aberrant Behavior Checklist, clinical diagnoses, the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, and the Full Scale IQ. The Norwegian scale scores for a mild IDD level were comparable with the American norms. Further research including severe IDD levels is needed on the Norwegian DBC-P. In summary, the study shows that the Norwegian DBC-P has both adequate reliability and validity.
