Which CBCL tool is designed for youth self-report?

• A. CBCL-TRF
• B. CBCL-YSR
• C. CBCL Teacher's Form
• D. CBCL Parent Rating Scale

Answer: (B)

The key idea is who provides the information. The Youth Self-Report is the CBCL form that the youth themselves completes, giving their own perspective on their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This self-report captures internal experiences—like mood and anxiety—that adults might not observe directly, and it complements what parents or teachers report. The other forms are filled out by someone else who knows the child: parent ratings, teacher ratings, or teacher-reported forms. So the Youth Self-Report is the tool designed for youth to report about their own experiences.
