Abstract
Examined descriptive characteristics, internal validity, and convergen t validity of the Injury Behavior Checklist (IBC) in a sample of 7- to 10-year-old children. Although the IBC was originally designed for us e with preschool children, results of the present study showed that it has acceptable psychometric qualities for use with children as old as 9 years. The IBC shows promise as an easily administered instrument f or research on psychological and behavioral mechanisms of childhood in jury, as well as for individual screening for injury liability.
