The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire Dysregulation Profile Teacher-Report: Psychometric Properties and Associations with Aspects of School Experience.

Emotional, cognitive, and behavioral dysregulation is a risk factor for severe outcomes, calling for reliable measures to assess it, including the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire Dysregulation Profile (SDQ-DP) defined by 5 or 15 items. This study explored for the first time the factor structure, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability of the SDQ-DPs teacher-report in a sample of Italian children (N = 1000; age 7-12 years). The gender invariance of the SDQ-DPs, construct validity, and associations with school variables were also evaluated.
