Psychometric Study of the Detection Questionnaire for Conduct Disorder
Abstract
In Mexico an elevated rate of violence exists and it has been increasing over the years. A high percentage of these violent individuals fulfill the criteria of Antisocial Personality Disorder in their adult life or Conduct Disorder (CD) in their childhood or adolescence. The behavior of these individuals is aggressive and there is a violation of the rules and the rights of others. Since CD carries serious consequences and can progress to an antisocial disorder, it is advisable to treat children and adolescents as soon as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to have an instrument for the diagnosis of CD in Mexico. In order to have a reliable tool, the DSM-IV questionnaire was analyzed for the diagnosis of the conduct disorder (Previously dissocial disorder in DSM-IV-TR) with a sample of 305 high school students, 155 female and 150 male students from the city of Morelia, Michoacán (Mexico). It was concluded that the best solution was 1 factor in terms of its internal structure and a Cronbach alpha value of .87. All 14 items were suitable, Pearson's correlations were made with other measures, obtaining positive and moderate correlations with the Plutchik Impulsivity Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory and the Knight CRAFFT scale (Assess risk of substance abuse), and there was no correlation with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Results support that this instrument possesses adequate psychometric properties to be administrated on the city of Morelia, Michoacán (Mexico).Downloads
