Abstract

The Screening Test for Emotional Problems – Teacher Version (STEP-T) was designed to identify students aged 7–17 years with wide-ranging emotional disturbances. Coefficients alpha and test-retest reliability were adequate for all subscales except Anxiety. The hypothesized five-factor model fit the data very well and external aspects of validity were excellent.
