Psychometric properties of a Dutch version of the Behavior Problems Inventory-01 (BPI-01)

Risk factors associated with challenging behaviour in people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities

“…Because the BPI‐PIMD was altered and only used for people with PIMD, we calculated the internal consistency in general ( α = 0.85) and for the different sub‐scales (self‐injurious behaviour, α = 0.48; stereotypical behaviour, α = 0.81; withdrawn behaviour, α = 0.73; and aggressive/destructive behaviour, α = 0.83). These findings are in line with other research into the internal consistency of the BPI (Rojahn et al ; Lambrechts & Maes ; Dumont et al ).…”

“…The psychometric properties of the original BPI are good (Rojahn et al ; González et al ; Van Ingen et al ). These findings are in line with studies by Dumont et al () and Lambrechts & Maes () into the psychometric properties of the Dutch translation of the BPI‐01 for people with a profound ID. The internal consistency of the entire scale, measured with Cronbach's alpha, ranges from good to excellent.…”

Relabelling behaviour. The effects of psycho‐education on the perceived severity and causes of challenging behaviour in people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities

“…The psychometric properties of the original BPI are good (Rojahn et al ; González et al ; Van Ingen et al ; Mascitelli et al ). These findings are in line with studies by Dumont et al () and Lambrechts & Maes () into the psychometric properties of the Dutch translation of the BPI‐01 for people with a profound ID. The internal consistency of the entire scale, measured using Cronbach's alpha (0.89), is good (Dumont et al ).…”

Psychometric properties of the Chinese Behavior Problems Inventory-01 in children and adolescents with or at risk for intellectual disabilities

“…In addition, the hypothesized three-factor model was also confirmed by CFA for the Chinese translation version BPI-01. This is in consistent with the English BPI-01 (Rojahn et al, 2012b) as well as with other translations of the BPI-01 (e.g., Baraldi et al, 2013;Dumont et al, 2014;Mircea et al, 2010). This supports the notion that the behavior problems manifested by individuals with ID are universal not sensitive to cultural differences.…”

“…The BPI-01 has been successfully used in several studies and has been shown to have good psychometric properties with fair to excellent internal consistency and good validity as tested by confirmatory factor analysis and discriminant factor analysis (Rojahn et al, 2012b). In addition, the instrument has been translated into many different languages and the foreign language versions have also been proven to have good reliability and validity (e.g., Baraldi, Rojahn, Seabra, Carreiro, & Teixeira, 2013;Dumont, Kroes, Korzilius, Didden, & Rojahn, 2014;Mircea, Rojahn, & Esbensen, 2010).…”
