Results: The results of Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed a good fit to the data,and the examination of its criterion-related validity,by using children's behavior problems and social competence as criterions,also indicated that both the concurrent and the predictive validities of FCRS were satisfactory. The internal consistency reliability of FCRS was satisfactory,with Cronbach ? coefficient 0.71; and the test-retest reliability was also satisfactory,with test-retest correlation coefficient 0.68(P
