Reliability and Validity of Short Form, Parental Version of the Korean Swanson, Nolan and Pelham-IV (SNAP-IV) / 신경정신의학

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to investigate the reliability and validity of the short form, parental version of the Korean SNAP-IV. METHODS: The Korean SNAP-IV, SNAP, CPRS were applied to the groups of 605 control and 94 ADHD children, aged 6-12 years. Test-retest reliability, internal consistency and split half reliability were performed as a reliability test and criterion validity, factor analysis and discriminant validity were also performed as a validity test. RESULTS: The Coefficient of test-retest reliability and split half reliability were 0.84/0.86 and 0.73/0.78 for both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity subscales. The Internal consistency was also excellent. The Criterion validity and discriminant validity rates were between 0.59 and 0.82. Three factors were identified in factor analysis. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that the short form, parental version of the Korean SNAP-IV is a reliable and valid instrument in the evaluation and screening of ADHD-related behaviors in children.
