Abstract	:	Previously published investigations of the parent-rated Child Behavior Checklist's (CBCL) factor structure have been limited to children of Western European cultural backgrounds, residing in the continental United States, Israel, and Western Europe. To date, only eight planned confirmatory studies have been published, and these have focused on the cross-informant model developed from teacher ratings and youth self-reports in addition to parent ratings. The present study examined the factor structure of the CBCL for clinic-referred Hawaii boys, aged 6 to 16 years. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to confirm the structure of the cross-informant model (1) for the entire sample, and (2) separately for younger and older boys. Poor model fit precipitated a confirmatory analysis of developmental models for the two age groups. Results indicate that these models fit the Hawaii data more poorly than the cross-informant model. The present study's findings failed to support the cross-informant model, suggesting caution in interpreting ratings obtained from Asian and Pacific Islander cultural groups. High intercorrelations among pairs of narrow-band factors indicate a lack of discriminability among syndrome constructs, while the high correlation between the two higher-order constructs suggests a general psychopathology factor.
