Summary

    About This Product

    BY JOSEPH H. BEITCHMAN, MD

    Overview

    The FAB-C provides insight into a young child's feelings and attitudes that may be contributing to certain behaviors. It is used as a screening tool in schools, outpatient clinics, residential treatment centers, and child protective services. Complementary to parent and teacher ratings from other assessments, the FAB-C self-report gives you another perspective of a child’s social and emotional state.

     

    How to Use the Assessment

    Using a simple yes or no response format, the child is asked to respond to statements such as “Kids pick on me.” A score is provided for each scale, as well as a total score.

    Scales:

    • Conduct Problems
    • Self-Image
    • Worry
    • Negative Peer Relations
    • Antisocial
    • Lie (validity)
    • Problem Index (total score)

     

    Technical Information

    The normative sample for the FAB-C consists of 1,988 children. Separate norms are available for boys and girls in 2-year age intervals. Raw scores are easily converted to T-scores with the QuikScore™ Form.

     

    The FAB–C questionnaire was developed using a normative sample of 1,988 children (1,074 males and 914 females). The mean age for males was 9.62 (SD=2.08) years and 9.65

    (SD = 2.04) years for females. The normative sample for the FAB-C represents basic variables such as socioeconomic status, family structure, and cultural background. Separate norms are available for boys and girls in 2-year age intervals.
