Description
Summary:This study evaluated the relationship between executive function (EF) scores using self-report measures versus performance based neuropsychological measures. Various predictors that have been associated with EFs were examined to assess the convergence of scores for these measures. The sample consisted of 60 male adolescents between 14 and 18 years old with and without legal history. The scores from the Comprehensive Executive Function Inventory and Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System were used. The correlation analysis results indicated a small and mostly non-significant relationship between the scores of both measures. The multiple regression analysis results indicated that the predictors of EF are dissimilarly related to the measures. However, both ways of measuring EF are not exclusive, and it can be useful to use them to measure different EF aspects.
