Abstract
The Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL)
(Achenbach, 1991) is one of the most commonly used
measures for identifying social competence and behaviour
problems in children. The present study aimed to assess
the questionable validity of the social competence (SC)
scale of the CBCL. Eighty-six children comprised a
general sample, 34 children comprised a low achieving
group and 46 children comprised a group exposed to
domestic violence. A CBCL was completed by the mothers
of these children and a score comput,ed for behaviour
syndromes and SC. Overall, results provide only minimal
validation of the SC scale of the CBCL. Reasons for
this are discussed and attention drawn to the need for
investigation of the construct of SC.
