A Preliminary Study on Reliability and Validity of the Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scales-Korean version in College Students

Abstract

This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scales-Korean version(CAARS-K). Participants were 912 normal college students for the examination of internal consistency and the factor analysis. Additionally 55 college students participated in this study to examine test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the CAARS-K. The four factor-driven subscales of the CAARS-K produced high internal consistency and relatively strong test-retest reliability over one or two weeks. And they were significantly correlated with another ADHD measures. Exploratory factor analysis revealed somewhat different results compared to those of antecedent research and suggested a three-factor structure accounting for 34.2 percent of the total variance. These factors were termed by emotional problems, hyperactivity/impulsivity, deficient executive function. The limitations of the study and the suggestions for further study were discussed.
