Abstract
Abstract
Objectives: This research aimed to perform a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on the three forms of the Thai youth checklist (TYC): the parent, teacher, and self-report forms.
Materials and methods: The study assessed the structural validity of the Thai youth checklist (TYC) using confirmatory factor analysis to determine the empirical data aligned with the Thai-language version's component structure. The sample comprised 1,609 participants aged 6 to 18 years. The parameters were estimated using the Robust Weight Least Square Mean and Variance Adjusted Chi-square (WLSMV) method.
Results: The confirmatory factor analysis revealed that all three forms of the TYC have an eight-syndrome factor structure, which demonstrated a good fit with the empirical data. The fit indices met the required criteria: SRMR ranged from 0.066 to 0.067, RMSEA ranged from 0.023 to 0.026, CFI ranged from 0.950 to 0.952, and TLI ranged from 0.946 to 0.950. The Median factor loadings for the items ranged from 0.551 to 0.825.
Conclusion: The three forms of the Thai youth checklist maintain a good acceptable structural composition within the current Thai context, despite the syndrome groupings differing from the original US version. The study suggests that, in addition to developing overall behavioral problem criteria, future research should focus on establishing normative data for each syndrome.
