Structural Validity of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF2) in a Croatian Primary School Normative Sample
The BRIEF2 is a measure of the executive function of children and youth, primarily used in clinical, psychoeducational, and research settings. The Parental Form consists of 63 statements that form nine primary scales. The primary scales form three composite indices - Behavior Regulation Index (BRI), Emotional Recognition Index (ERI), and Cognitive Regulation Index (CRI) - and a unitary Global Executive Composite (GEC). This study aims to examine how the individual scales would load on a one-, two-, and three-factor structural model, and to additionally examine the existence of the bifactor model. The model-data fit was tested using CFA, while the comparison of nested models was examined by incremental indices’ change. The research was part of CHILD-WELL project founded by Croatian Science Foundation. The sample included 956 mothers of primary school children aged 8 to 13 (M = 10.52, SD = 1.14 ; 46.7% of boys) who filled in paper-and-pencil BRIEF2 parental form. The reliabilities of the scales (.69-.84), the composite indices (.85-.93) and the total score (.96) were acceptable. The intercorrelations between scales (.42-.70), and between the composites (.66-.74) were moderate to high. The CFA confirmed moderate model-data fit of one-, two-, and three-factor models, where the better fit was found for three- (CFI=.956 ; RMSEA=.102) and two-factor models (CFI=.955 ; RMSEA=.100). Due to the high correlation estimate between Behavioural and Emotional Regulation factors (r = .94) in the three-factor model, we advocate for the two-factor model with the second factor saturating both, BRI and ERI scales. The modification of the two-factor model to the bifactor model additionally improved the model- data fit (CFI=.982 ; RMSEA=.076). These findings support the interpretation of the BRIEF2 scores in terms of both a single global score and more specific first-order composites. However, it opens the discussion on the existence of two or three first-order factors
