Edelbrock, Craig; Achenback, Thomas M. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 1980
Hierarchical cluster analysis from scores on the Child Behavior Profile was used to identify reliable profile patterns that characterized 2,683 clinically referred boys and girls aged 6 to 11 and 12 to 16. Procedures for classifying the profiles of individual children were developed and good agreement was obtained between classifications based on…

Kirkland, John; Brennan, Michael – Exceptional Child, 1985
An approach is outlined involving ratings on bi-polar "temperament" dimensions of behaviors which a child may display. These data are then subjected to a cluster analysis which displays correspondences graphically, in a form which can be discussed directly. An example of coping with crying babies is provided.

Overall, John E.; Hollister, Leo E. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1980
Empirical cluster analysis methods have been the basis for development of a phenomenological classification of depressive disorders. Verbal descriptions of the distinguishing features of anxious, hostile, agitated, and retarded subtypes of depression are provided to facilitate development of clinical classification concepts. A review of validity…

Anderson, Wayne P.; Holcomb, William R. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1983
Identified five types of violent criminals (N=110) using cluster analysis of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory scores, and compared them on 24 sociological and behavioral variables. Results showed differences on 16 items including family history, drug and alcohol use, events preceding the crime, and relationship between offender and…

Snyder, Douglas K.; Fruchtman, Lisa A. – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1981
Identifies different patterns of wife abuse, using a multivariate quantitative taxonomic procedure to delineate five homogeneous subgroups of abused women. Found that abuse occurs differentially in stable and unstable relationships, with differences in individual histories and responses of the victim to her assailant. (Author/JAC)

Braucht, G. Nicholas; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1978
Examined subgroups of people in relation to specific types of drugs. Multiple drug clusters identified here yielded six basic drug clusters. Typology of drug abusers was developed by proximity cluster analysis. Set of psychosocial measures was differentially related to use of types of drugs and drug abusers. (Author/BEF)

Berven, Norman L. – Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin, 1979
Reexamined the eight duty factors identified by Muthard and Salomone, which have been viewed as a definitive description of rehabilitation counselor role behavior. Data were reanalyzed using cluster analysis. Original results were replicated with modifications, increasing the meaningfulness of the description of rehabilitation counselor role…

Donovan, Dennis M.; Marlatt, G. Alan – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1982
Investigated the empirical derivation of clinically and theoretically meaningful subtypes among males arrested for driving while intoxicated. Five subtypes were defined through cluster analysis of driving--attitudinal, personality, and hostility measures. Two subtypes were found to have particularly high levels of risk-enhancing traits.

Gabony, Peter – British Journal of Special Education, 1991
Questionnaires documenting self-injurious behavior (SIB) among 113 elementary students were returned by 21 London schools. Cluster analysis found patterns of behavior associated with each other, indicating that SIB may not be a homogeneous condition but may comprise a number of distinct syndromes depending on sex, age, mobility, communication…

McDermott, Paul A. – School Psychology Review, 1983
Syndrome scores for the normative school-age population of the revised Bristol Social Adjustment Guides were grouped according to sequential hierarchical cluster analyses. Sixteen homogeneous syndromic profile types emerged and are described in this article (Author/BW)

Tonyan, Holli A.; Howes, Carollee – Early Childhood Research Quarterly, 2003
Explored whether children's experiences in child care programs related to individual (ethnicity, age, gender) and classroom (environmental quality) characteristics. Identified six patterns in how children spent their time: creative, language arts, didactic, gross motor, high-level adult involvement, and individualized adult interactions. Found…

Kipper, David A.; Ginot, Efrat – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1979
Predicted that the accuracy of evaluating videotape replay of one's own behavior is related to the defense mechanism clusters of the evaluator. Results confirmed the prediction. Furthermore, subjects characterized by projection clusters tended to produce the greatest distortions, and those characterized by turning-against-self clusters evaluated…

Veneziano, Carol; Veneziano, Louis – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1992
Family functioning of 411 incarcerated male juvenile delinquents (aged 12-16 years) was studied using the Family Environmental Scale. A typology of family social environments was developed using cluster analysis. Delinquents with the most serious behavioral difficulties come from family environments with few strengths and openly expressed conflict…

Richardson, Stephen A.; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1993
Cluster analysis was used to compare the leisure activities of 218 Scottish young adults with and without mild mental retardation. Results showed that for both sexes some proportion of both groups were in each cluster, but the proportions varied widely. Leisure patterns were strongly influenced by gender and marital status.

Sevin, Jay A.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1995
A cluster analytic study was conducted to derive behaviorally homogeneous subtypes of pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) based on a range of behavioral symptoms that characterize autism. Analysis of data on 34 children with PDD, 27 of whom met criteria for autism, indicated 4 distinct groups differing on independent measures of social,…
