Literature review of psychometric tools for the detection of preschool children’s behavioral and emotional problems
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the results of the literature review which was carried out to identify and record those psychometric tools which aim at detecting behavioral and emotional problems in preschool children. These tools have either been designed by Greek researchers or they have been translated and adapted for the Greek audience. Through extensive literature research, we identified and recorded twenty (20) psychometric tools available in Greece, used for the detection of behavioral and emotional problems. The majority of these tools have the characteristics of an rating scale and are mainly meant for preschool educators, while approximately half of them are applied in various fields (cognitive, psychoemotional, motor, academic) in order to assess the wider developmental state of the child and not solely to detect behavioral and emotional problems. The collection, presentation and categorization of these psychometric tools are deemed essential as they will enable the future researchers to select the appropriate psychometric tool for the early detection of behavioral and emotional problems in preschool children.
