Abstract: While irritability is a symptom included in multiple DSM psychiatric illnesses, it has remained an ill-defined and underresearched phenomenon until relatively recently. There have been multiple attempts made to measure irritability in childhood and adolescence. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the various approaches used in the measurement and empirical study of pediatric irritability.

“…“EFA is appropriate when there is limited theoretical precedent for a model, as the number of dimensions and their association with observed variables are determined based on the data. In Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA), on the other hand, models are theory-driven, and the research must specify the hypothesized number of dimensions associated with each [construct].” (Ametti and Althoff, 2019 , pp: 34). For well-defined and highly researched measurement models, CFA would be recommended.…”
