PECHORRO, Pedro et al. Adaptation of a Portuguese version of the Adapted Self-Report Delinquency Scale for adolescents. Psicologia [online]. 2015, vol.29, n.1, pp.59-67. ISSN 0874-2049.

The aim of the present study was to adapt a Portuguese version of the Adapted Self-Report Delinquency Scale (ASRDS), a measure that assesses self-reported delinquent and antisocial behaviors in youths. With a total of 760 youths subdivided in a forensic sample (n = 250) and a community sample (n = 510) we were able to demonstrate psychometric properties that justify its use with the Portuguese adolescent population in terms of factorial validity, internal consistency, divergent validity, convergent validity, concurrent validity, and retrospective validity.

Keywords : Assessment; Juvenile delinquency; Validation; ASRDS.
