Agreement between Parents and Teachers in Using the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist to Identify Deviant Behavior in Children.

Simpson, Robert G.; Halpin, Gerald

Behavioral Disorders, v12 n1 p54-59 Nov 1986

Parent and teacher ratings of 141 middle-school children were collected using the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist. Pearson correlation coefficients indicated a low degree of relationship between parent and teacher ratings. The lack of agreement in identifying children as either mildly deviant or highly deviant suggests rating subjectivity. (Author/DB)
