Adaptive behavior rating scales are widely used assessments that ask teachers and parents to rate how well students care for themselves, interact with others, and exhibit practical and academic skills. While adaptive rating scales have yielded reliable and valid results, it is unclear how the readability of the rating forms may impact the results,…

Executive functions (EFs) are an umbrella term that includes various cognitive abilities (such as inhibition, planning, goal-setting, monitoring, and shifting). There is common agreement that there are three main EFs: inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and working memory. Further studies have reported that compared to typically developing…

Tier 1 implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) focuses on developing, teaching, and reinforcing school-wide behavioral expectations. Yet, it is unclear whether expectations align with the cultural experiences of students from diverse backgrounds. The Personal Matrix Activity (PMA) provides students with an…

Jenkins, Andrew; Thoman, Sarah; Wang, Yan; von der Embse, Nathaniel; Kilgus, Stephen; Reynolds, Faith – Psychology in the Schools, 2021
Detecting mental health concerns in youth accurately and promptly may prevent poor school outcomes, long-term mental illness, and adverse lifelong outcomes. Practitioners often use universal behavioral risk screeners to identify students at-risk on indicators related to mental health concerns. However, research is needed to inform the stability of…

Eklund, Katie; Kilgus, Stephen P.; Barber, Alexandra; Dubose, Kortni; Collins, Bri'Anna; Eikenmeyer, Madison – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Universal screening has emerged as one strategy within schools for identifying students who demonstrate social emotional and behavioral (SEB) concerns to provide appropriate support. However, research has demonstrated little evidence of equity around diagnostic accuracy; that is, how students might be differentially identified as at-risk for SEB…

Sikorska, Iwona; Adamczyk-Banach, Magdalena; Polak, Mateusz – Psychology in the Schools, 2021
There is a lack of Polish-language assessment instruments measuring resilience in preschool children. One of the most comprehensive instruments is the Devereux Early Childhood Assessment (DECA): a parent- or teacher-report instrument that measures children's protective and risk factors. It is used to guide resilience training, and to screen for…

Dart, Evan H.; Radley, Keith C.; Fischer, Aaron J.; Collins, Tai A.; Terjesen, Mark D.; Wright, Sarah J.; McCargo, Morgan; Hicks, Ashley J. – Psychology in the Schools, 2017
Direct behavior ratings (DBRs) have been proposed as an efficient method to assess student behavior in the classroom due to their relative ease of administration compared to alternative methods like systematic direct observation. DBRs are considered low-inference assessments of behavior because they are designed to be completed immediately…

Norfolk, Philip A.; Floyd, Randy G. – Psychology in the Schools, 2016
It is often assumed that parents completing behavior rating scales during the assessment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can deliberately manipulate the outcomes of the assessment. To detect these actions, items designed to detect over-reporting or under-reporting of results are sometimes embedded in such rating scales. This…

The purpose of the current study was to examine the validity and diagnostic accuracy of the "Intervention Selection Profile--Social Skills" (ISP-SS), a brief social skills assessment tool intended for use with students in need of Tier 2 intervention.

Major, Sofia O.; Seabra-Santos, Maria J.; Martin, Roy P. – Psychology in the Schools, 2015
The parent-teacher agreement has become an important issue of children's psychological assessment. However, the amount of research available for preschool children is small and mainly based on one index of agreement with samples of modest size/representativeness. This study examined parent-teacher agreement (correlations) and discrepancies (t…

Martin, Callie; Dunham, Mardis; Patel, Samir H.; Contreras-Bloomdahl, Susana – Psychology in the Schools, 2016
"The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5)," requires that symptoms of ADHD must be "developmentally inappropriate" in order for an ADHD diagnosis to be considered. Because the DSM-5 does not specifically outline procedure for determining developmental inappropriateness of behaviors,…

Mason, Benjamin A.; Gunersel, Adalet Baris; Ney, Emilie A. – Psychology in the Schools, 2014
Behavior rating scales are indirect measures of emotional and social functioning used for assessment purposes. Rater bias is systematic error that may compromise the validity of behavior rating scale scores. Teacher bias in ratings of behavior has been investigated in multiple studies, but not yet assessed in a research synthesis that focuses on…

Convergent and discriminant validity evidence was examined for scores on the Spanish Record Form of the Bracken School Readiness Assessment, Third Edition (BSRA-3). Participants included a sample of 68 Hispanic, Spanish-speaking children ages 4 to 5 years enrolled in preschool programs in Puerto Rico. Scores obtained from the BSRA-3 Spanish Record…

Myers, Carl L. – Psychology in the Schools, 2013
Behavior rating scales are popular assessment tools but more research is needed on the preschool versions of the instruments, particularly with referred samples of preschoolers. This study examined the comparability of results from parent ratings on the preschool versions of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL/1.5-5, Achenbach & Rescorla, 2000)…

Peters, Christina D.; Kranzler, John H.; Algina, James; Smith, Stephen W.; Daunic, Ann P. – Psychology in the Schools, 2014
The aim of the current study was to examine mean-group differences on behavior rating scales and variables that may predict such differences. Sixty-five teachers completed the Clinical Assessment of Behavior-Teacher Form (CAB-T) for a sample of 982 students. Four outcome variables from the CAB-T were assessed. Hierarchical linear modeling was used…
