It has been extensively used worldwide, but its psychometric properties, such as internal structure and reliability, seem to vary across countries. This is the first study exploring the construct validity and reliability of the Spanish version of SDQ among early adolescents (self-reported) and their parents in Latin America. A total of 1, 284 early adolescents (9–15 years) and their parents answered the SDQ. We also collected demographic variables. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess the latent structure of the SDQ. We also used the multitrait-multimethod analysis to separate the true variance on the constructs from variance resulting from measurement methods (self-report vs. parent report), and evaluated the agreement between adolescents and their parents. We found that the original five-factor model was a good solution and the resulting sub-scales had good internal consistency. We also found that the self-reported and parental versions of SDQ provide different information, which are complementary and provide a better picture of the emotional, social, and conduct problems of adolescents. We have added evidence for the construct validity and reliability of the Spanish self-reported and parental SDQ versions in a Chilean sample. 000069461 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000069461 590__ $$a2.776$$b2018 000069461 591__ $$aMULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES$$b23 / 69 = 0.333$$c2018$$dQ2$$eT2 000069461 592__ $$a1.1$$b2018 000069461 593__ $$aAgricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous)$$c2018$$dQ1 000069461 593__ $$aMedicine (miscellaneous)$$c2018$$dQ1 000069461 593__ $$aBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous)$$c2018$$dQ1 000069461 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000069461 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-5677-1662$$aMontero-Marin, J. 000069461 700__ $$aValenzuela, D. 000069461 700__ $$aRojas-Barahona, C.A. 000069461 700__ $$aOlivares, E. 000069461 700__ $$aAraya, R. 000069461 773__ $$g13, 2 (2018), e0191809[18 pp]$$pPLoS One$$tPloS one$$x1932-6203 000069461 8564_ $$s462865$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/69461/files/texto_completo.pdf$$yVersión publicada 000069461 8564_ $$s80693$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/69461/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yVersión publicada 000069461 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:69461$$particulos$$pdriver 000069461 951__ $$a2019-11-27-15:49:57 000069461 980__ $$aARTICLE
