@entity146 are often present in very young @entity1 with @entity72 ( @entity72 ) but their nosology has been the object of scant empirical attention. The objective of this study was to assess the construct validity of select Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of @entity146 (DSM)-defined syndromes ( @entity71 , ODD, @entity1316 ) in preschoolers with @entity2438 (N = 229). Parents and teachers completed the Early Childhood Inventory-4, a behavior rating scale based on the DSM-IV, and ratings were submitted to confirmatory factor analysis. Results generally supported the DSM nosology in this population. There was some evidence that parent ratings were associated with better fit indices (e.g. RSMEA = .062) than teachers (e.g. RMSEA = .083). For both raters, fit indices appeared to improve when the @entity71 factor was broken into its constituent parts. However, @entity2915 symptoms accounted for little unique additional variance in the model. Findings lend support to the DSM as a conceptual model for @entity146 in preschoolers with @entity72 and also reinforce the importance of source-specificity when considering @entity146 in @entity1 with @entity72 .
