A Study of Reliability and Vality of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale-Korean Version

Korean version of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS ) was used with 41 develop men - tally disabled children under age 11. Cronbach’s coefficient alpha was 0.94. The interrater reliablity(Y) for each of the 15 scales ranged from 0.61 to 0.92 with an average of 0.76. The total GARS score or number of item above 3 score demonstrated a statistically significant correlation with social age. But the total CARS scoreor number of item above 3 score demonstrated an unsatisfactory correlation with social quotients. The authers suggest that the development of assessmental instrument for infantile autism and concurrent use of Krug’s “Autism Behavior Checklist” will be needed.
