Approche dimensionnelle des troubles des comportements sociaux chez l'enfant. Étude préliminaire de validation de la version française du Children's Social Behavior Questionnaire (CSBQ)

Social behaviour profiles are different and characteristic for each disorder. However, social symptoms are not specific for one disorder and common social signs do exist between different disorders. Our results are concordant with the Luteijn study and literature data. The results support the hypothesis of a dimensional pathogenesis in social behaviour disturbance. We discuss the benefit of a dimensional approach to complete the categorical one. The Children's Social Behaviour Questionnaire seems to be an interesting instrument to explore social behaviour disturbances in several child disorders.
