Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Developmental Profile-Ⅲ_(K-DPⅢ_), and to modify its items in accordance with Korean culture. Methods : Following a translation process by a professional translator, K-DP Ⅲ was administered to parents of 49 normal children (ranging from 3 to 5 years in age). The reliability was tested via internal consistency (N=49). Its concurrent validity was examined by administering K-DDSTⅡ and K-ABS. Results : The results showed high internal consistency (.86 to .90) and concurrent validity (.39 to .63). In most K-DPⅢ scales, the Pearson product moment correlation coefficients between scales ranged from .54 to .77 and showed significant correlation. Conclusion : This study suggested that K-DPⅢ is a reliable and valid test in evaluating the development of children.
