Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

Early identification of social-emotional competence among preschool children is critical. The Ages and Stages Questionnaires: Social Emotional (ASQ: SE) was translated and adapted to identify social emotional competence among preschool children. ASQ: SE is a parent-completed screening tool to identify young children with social-emotional problems. The appropriateness of the instrument and the result of the ASQ: SE were investigated. A total of 75 parents in Batang Padang District, Perak and Bandar Barn Bangi completed the Malay-adapted ASQ: SE, the Family Information Survey and the Parent Satisfaction Survey. A panel of expert and parents agreed that the Malay adapted ASQ: SE was an appropriate instrument to be used in Malaysia. Parents also found the ASQ: SE was easy to understand and use. Future psychometric studies with more diverse populations, focusing on parents' cultural contexts are recommended for the Malay-adapted ASQ: SE.
