abstract = {The Early Childhood Social Competence Scale (EC-SCS) was elaborated to evaluate social
behavior on behalf of others in infantile populations. Due to the emergence and development of
these behaviors from very early ages, the interest in its assessment is high from a developmental,
educational, and applied perspective. The aim of the present study is to develop a Spanish population
version of the scale, considering a specific dimensional structure. It was tested with a sample
of 504 children of ages between 3 and 5 years, enrolled in school centers of infantile education.
The results show that the new version of the instrument is a suitable measure for the assessment of
social competence behaviors in early infancy. The joint consideration of prosocial and unfriendly
behavior is important as it allows for the promotion of social competence behaviors and optimizes
the detection of and intervention in behavioral problems later in life.},
