description The children psychological evaluation requires a multisource process. This is why having instruments that capture the valuation made by parents about the behavior and attributes of the child is paramount. The aim of this paper is to present the results of the adaptation and validation of the Parent’s Rating Scale of Child’s Actual Behavior (PRS;Harter, 1985) for its use in Buenos Aires (Argentina). The sample of the study was compound by 155 children (age M= 9.53, SD= 1.40) of both genders from Buenos Aires elementary schools and one of their parents. Discriminant item capacity, reliability, construct, content, convergent, and discriminant validity were studied.

La evaluación psicológica infantil requiere de un proceso multifuente. Es por ello que contar con instrumentos que permitan captar la valoración que hacen los padres sobre las conductas y atributos del niño es de suma importancia. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar los resultados de la adaptación y validación de la Escala de Evaluación del Comportamiento del Niño, en su versión para padres (PRS; Harter, 1985) para su uso en Buenos Aires (Argentina). Se trabajó con una muestra de 155 niños (edad M = 9.53; DE = 1.40) de ambos sexos de escuelas primarias de Buenos Aires y uno de sus padres. Se estudió la capacidad de discriminación de los ítems, la confiabilidad, validez de constructo, de contenido, convergente, y discriminante. Los resultados mostraron que este es un instrumento válido y confiable para evaluar la percepción que tienen los padres de niños de escuelas primarias de Buenos Aires de los atributos y competencias de sus hijos.
