Abstract
Objective. In this article we present the translation and adaptation of the Pre-School Activities Inventory (PSAI) into Russian.
Method. We studied the results of 474 participants: 316 parents of pre-school children and 158 daycare teachers. One parent answered PSAI, the other parent and daycare teacher were interviewed about the usual child’s behavior.
Results. The statistic analysis of the data let us conclude that the Russian version of PSAI has proved to be a generally valid and reliable psychometric technique for assessing sextyped behaviors in pre-school children.
Conclusion. The Pre-School Activities Inventory (PSAI) was successfully translated and adopted into Russian.
