Beck Youth Inventory Overview The BYI is a 100-item self-report measure comprising five self-report inventories that can be used separately or in combination to assess symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, disruptive behaviour, and self-concept.

The five BYI are:

1) The Beck Depression Inventory for Youth (BDI-Y)
2) The Beck Anxiety Inventory for Youth (BAI-Y)
3) The Beck Anger Inventory for Youth (BANI-Y)
4) The Beck Disruptive Inventory for Youth (BDBI-Y)
5) The Beck Self-Concept Inventory for Youth (BSCI-Y).

Each inventory contains 20 questions about thoughts, feelings and behaviours associated with emotional and social impairment. Children and young people describe how frequently a statement has been true for them over the past two weeks.

Psychometric properties

Property	Definition	BYI
Reliability	Degree to which respondents in a similar sample had similar scores.	No information at present.
Test-retest reliability	The degree to which similar items within a scale correlate with each other.	The BYI shows good to excellent internal consistency, with (alpha) coefficients ranging from 0.86 to 0.96 (Measure Profile, 2012).
Concurrent validity	Degree to which the same respondents have the same score after period of time when trait shouldn’t have changed	Test re-test reliability correlation coefficients have been found to range between 0.74 to 0.93 (Measure Profile, 2012).
Discriminant validity	Inverse correlation with opposite concepts	The BYI demonstrates good discriminant validity, and has been found to reliably discriminate between internalising disorders, with the exception of depression (Measure Profile, 2012).

Populations

The BYI is to be completed by children and young people aged 7-18 years old.

Translation

The BYI is available in English, Danish, French and Polish.

Administration

The BYI is a paper-pencil format so the child/young person can complete this on paper or it can be verbally administered if necessary.

Scoring

Raw scores

• Add scores from Items 1-20 for the total BSCI-Y score.
• Add scores from Items 21-40 for the total BAI-Y score.
• Add scores from Items 41-60 for the total BDI-Y score.
• Add scores from Items 61-80 for the total BANI-Y score.
• Add scores from Items 81-100 for the total BDBI-Y score.

T-Scores

Raw scores are translated into T-scores assigned by age and gender:

• Females 7-10 years old, 11-14 years old, 15-18 years old
• Males 7-10 years old, 11-14 years old, 15-18 years old.

You can use the tables in Appendix A - Tables for Beck Youth Inventories (p.246) to convert raw scores into T-scores.

The Beck Youth Inventories—Second Edition for Children and Adolescents (BYI–II) are designed for children and adolescents ages 7 to 18 years.

Five self-report inventories can be used separately or in combination to assess a child’s experience of depression, anxiety, anger, disruptive behaviour, and self-concept.

Ease of use and flexibility of scoring allow for problem identification and prevention without extensive training. Results aid in the screening, planning, and monitoring of children and youth for educational placement and clinical treatment.

Benefits of the BYI–II

Save time with brief screening tools
Track students over time on the same group of integrated instruments
Identify impaired children for referral to more extensive assessment services
Identify potential vulnerability to bully/victimization
Assess adolescents with special needs and low reading level
Administer individually or in a group
Compare BYI–II profiles of teens to BYI–II profiles of clinical diagnostic groups
Examine the strength of the BYI–II Self-Concept measure relative to symptom strength in planning interventions
Monitor progress

Content and Features

The five self-report inventories draw on the same principles as the widely-used Beck Depression Inventory®–II and other Beck Scales for Anxiety (BAI), Hopelessness (BHS), and Suicide Ideation (BSS).

Each inventory contains 20 questions about thoughts, feelings, and behaviours associated with emotional and social impairment in youth. The inventories are written at a second-grade reading level and may be read aloud to those with reading difficulties.

Flexible Administration

The BYI–II targets specific areas of treatment. Because the inventories are brief, children and adolescents are more likely to remain attentive and engaged while responding. The inventories can be completed prior to each clinical session, saving valuable treatment time.

The instruments measure a child’s or adolescent’s emotional and social impairment in five specific areas:

Depression Inventory—in line with the depression criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health DisordersTM—Fourth Edition (DSM–IVTM), this inventory allows for early identification of symptoms of depression. It includes items related to a child’s or adolescent’s negative thoughts about self, life and the future, feelings of sadness and guilt, and sleep disturbance.
Anxiety Inventory—reflects children’s and adolescents’ specific worries about school performance, the future, negative reactions of others, fears (including loss of control), and physiological symptoms associated with anxiety.
Anger Inventory—evaluates a child’s or adolescent’s thoughts of being treated unfairly by others, feelings of anger and hatred.
Disruptive Behaviour Inventory—identifies thoughts and behaviours associated with conduct disorder and oppositional-defiant behaviour.
Self-Concept Inventory—taps cognitions of competence, potency, and positive self worth.

BYI–II Clinical Uses

Clinical ranges for symptom severity
Profile analysis for general understanding
Items and item clusters as probes for deeper understanding

Norms

The inventories were developed and normed using standardization samples. T Scores allowing profile analysis to assist in conceptualizing how depression, anxiety, and anger may all be a part of the individual’s distress.
