ReliabilityⓘWhere observations (e.g. teacher or peer report rather than self report) are used, this measure of reliability indicates how closely related each score is. A higher value suggests a more reliable measure.

Insufficient data in the public domain to evaluate

Criterion validityⓘAn assessment of how well the measures relates to other, well-validated assessments.

Construct validityⓘFurther to the use of CFA and EFA, this reports any details demonstrating how well the measure is seen to represent the conceptual domain it comes from.

Lower internal consistencies, a weaker factor structure, lower item discriminations, significant pseudo-guessing effects, and subscale-level measurement bias. Caution researchers and clinicians about the use of the SCQ Current form. In particular, it seems inappropriate to use the Current form as an alternative to the Lifetime form among children younger than 5 years old or under other special situations (e.g., teacher-report data).Wei, Chesnut, Barnard-Brak & Richman (2015)

Concurrent validityⓘSimilar to Criterion, this is a measure of how well the measure relates to other similar (or dissimilar) domains, as evidence of its validity.

The inter-correlations found between the ADI‑R and the SCQ were reported s: for the reciprocal social interaction domain r= .92, for the communication domain r= .73, and for the restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behaviour domain r=.89, indicating a high level of validity for the SCQ.
