description

Abstract The main purpose of this brief report is to introduce a wide range battery of instruments for the psychological assessment of children and adolescents, which was developed in Spain and coordinated by the last author. The battery includes a General Diagnostic Report (anamnesis and general way of life), two Behaviour Problem Scales (one for school and one for non-school settings), a Hyperactivity Scale, the ‘Battery of Socialization’, the I-6 (Junior) Questionnaire, the EPQ-J, a Questionnaire for the Assessment of Self-Concept, the Antisocial Behaviour Scale, a Locus of Control Scale, an Irrational Beliefs Inventory, an Assertiveness Scale, a Fear Inventory, an Anxiety Scale, a Depression Scale, several Reinforcement Inventories, and a Self-Control Questionnaire. A group of 275 boys and girls (age 11–19) were tested with all self-report instruments. This allowed us to run global factor analyses, as well as factor analyses differentiating the sexes. Eysenck's three dimension structure of personality obtains strong support in such analyses.
