A comparison of self-report of criminal involvement and official arrest records
Self-reports of arrests and official arrest records were compared for 250 male and 80 female participants in the ongoing Hyperactivity Follow-Up Study of Young Adults at University of California at Berkeley. For males, kappa coefficients indicated good statistical agreement between arrest records and self-report measures for 7 of the 12 types of crimes. Statistical agreement, however, may not be the most meaningful yardstick to judge concordance.…
Development and Scaling of a Preservice Teacher Rating Instrument
Teacher preparation programs must have instruments yielding accurate and fair appraisal of preservice teachers' classroom teaching. Preservice teachers themselves need valid information about performance to correct difficulties that could impede successful practice and interfere with obtaining a position. College supervisors require a method to evaluate student teachers providing a reliable standard against which they can assess performance with …
The measurement of attention deficit disorder with behavior ratings of parents
A factor analysis of the "Behavior and Temperament Survey--Home Version" resulted in four independent dimensions that were consistent with the DSM-III diagnostic criteria for inattention, hyperactivity, and conduct disorders. A factor dimension labeled "Impulsivity," not in DSM-III also resulted. Data include correlations between scales, descriptive statistics, and reliability estimates. They also show the stability of the BTS-H over a three-year…
Persistence of hyperactivity symptoms from childhood to adolescence and associated outcomes
Hyperactive boys and matched controls from a large-scale epidemiological study, followed for at least three years to age 12, were compared on parent and teacher reports and assessments of attention, achievement, and intellectual functioning. Three outcome groups, based on presence or absence of hyperactivity symptoms, were derived and compared to the DSM-III description of ADD-H. Problem-free adolescents who were hyperactive in childhood were fou…
Dimensions of the group environment scale
Student teachers in yearlong mental health consultation groups completed Moos's Group Environment Scale (GES) and three semantic differential ratings of their satisfaction with the group experience. Factor analysis of the GES yielded four dimensions, the first two corresponding to Moos's hypothesized dimensions of Relationship and System Maintenance/System Change. Intercorrelations of factor composite scores with the differential ratings provided…
Medical factors in hyperactive and normal children
Guided by the goal of documenting the natural course of the life histories of a large sample of hyperactive children and their control counterparts, this research reports the extent to which prenatal, developmental, and health history factors distinguish hyperactive and control groups, as well as the relative contributions of the various medical factors. Results indicate that prenatal factors, rather than those occurring later in the child's medi…
Contribution of predispositional factors to the diagnosis of hyperactivity
Hyperactivity is a complex childhood problem and may represent several groups or syndromes, each with its own etiological patterns. This paper presents results of analyses indicating that, although biological and demographic factors may predispose children to being identified and treated as hyperactive, the major contributions to the condition are early manifestations of temperament and the quality of the family's interaction with the child
Some environmental and familial correlates and antecedents of hyperactivity
Based on a theoretical perspective combining social and organic approaches to the etiology of hyperactivity, research was conducted via parent interview on 492 children from a representative population of more than 5000 school children. Data analysis suggests that each of four areas of familial influence—Achievement Press, Provisions for General Learning, Parent-Child Interaction, and Family History and Characteristics—have possible implications …
The comparative predictive efficiency of intellectual and nonintellectual components of high school functioning
Much time is spent in elementary schools in assessment of cognitive attributes of children, little in measurement of noncognitive attributes. This study evaluates relative importance of early assessments of cognitive versus noncognitive variables as predictors of high school achievement and adjustment. Results demonstrate the critical, and frequently more important, contribution of the noncognitive attributes

Scaling Behavioral Attributes of Children Using Multiple Teacher Judgments of Pupil Characteristics
