Identifying Adolescent Runaways: The Predictive Utility of the Personality Inventory for Children.
Rohr, Michael E.
Adolescence, v31 n123 p605-23 Fall 1996
Investigated whether runaway behavior could be related to six problematic areas. Selected scales of the Personality Inventory for Children, representing the six areas, were hypothesized to discriminate between an adolescent runaway group (N=60) and a control group (N-60). The runaway group was not significantly different from a known clinical group with moderate to severe psychopathology. Discusses other findings. (KW)
