The convergent and discriminant validity of the parent version of the Child and Adolescent Behavior Inventory (CABI) symptom and impairment scale scores were evaluated with the scale scores from multiple methods including a semistructured diagnostic interview, rating scales, and an academic achievement test. Participants were 82 adolescents (70% male, 78% non-Hispanic White) aged 13 to 17 years (M = 15.01) diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (77% predominantly inattentive presentation) and parents. CABI scale scores showed moderate (rs = .42 to .49) to substantial (rs = .62 to .91) convergent correlations with scores from similar measures. CABI scale scores also showed significant discriminant validity (convergent correlation significantly larger than discriminant correlation) with the scores on the other measures. These findings provide additional support for use of the CABI in research and clinical practice, and copies of the scale and norms are freely available.

父母版本的儿童和青少年行为量表 (CABI) 症状和障碍量表得分的收敛和区分效度通过多种方法的量表得分进行评估，包括半结构化诊断访谈、评级量表和学业成就测试。参与者是 82 名青少年（70% 男性，78% 非西班牙裔白人），年龄在 13 至 17 岁（M = 15.01），被诊断患有注意力缺陷/多动障碍（77% 主要是注意力不集中）和父母。CABI 量表评分显示中等（r s = .42 至 0.49）至大量（rs = .62 到 .91) 与来自类似测量的分数的收敛相关性。CABI 量表分数也显示出显着的判别有效性（收敛相关性显着大于判别相关性）与其他测量的分数。这些发现为在研究和临床实践中使用 CABI 提供了额外的支持，并且可以免费获得量表和规范的副本。
