    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The study used confirmatory factor analysis to ascertain support for the bifactor model of the Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms, based on parent and teacher ratings for a group of Malaysian children. METHODS: Malaysian parents and teachers completed ratings of ADHD and Opposition Defiant Disorder (ODD) symptoms for 934 children. RESULTS: For both sets of ratings, the findings indicating good fit for the bifactor model, and the factors in this model showed differential associations with ODD, thereby supporting the internal and external validity of this model. DISCUSSION: The theoretical and clinical implications of the findings are discussed.
