WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory Test

Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI) Test - Symptoms and Signs

This measure is designed to obtain caregiver ratings of disruptive behavior patterns in young children. The Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI) is commonly used to characterize both the frequency of specific behaviors and the extent to which caregivers perceive them as problematic.

It consists of 72 items and typically takes about 14 minutes to complete. Item responses yield separate indices reflecting behavior intensity and caregiver-reported problem status, supporting clinical screening, treatment planning, and monitoring of change over time in outpatient, school, and research contexts. The Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI) was developed by Sheila M. Eyberg.
