Peer reviewedOsofsky, Joy D.; O'Connell, Edward J. – Child Development, 1977
A factor analysis was performed on the behavioral items of the Brazelton Neonatal Assessment Scale for an urban population of 328 newborns. (Author/JMB)
Descriptors: Factor Analysis, Infant Behavior, Measurement Instruments, Neonates
Peer reviewedJacobson, Joseph L.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Examines the psychometric properties of two procedures for reducing data from the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale: factor and cluster analysis. The sample consisted of 85 male and 77 female newborns. (RH)
Descriptors: Cluster Analysis, Comparative Analysis, Data Analysis, Factor Analysis
Peer reviewedYang, Raymond K.; Moss, Howard A. – Developmental Psychology, 1978
Ninety-two clinically normal infants (48 male, 44 female) were tested at 2 and 90 days of age to examine the continuity of newborn behavior through early infancy across a broad range of behaviors. (MP)

Peer reviewedYang, Raymond K.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1976
Measures of active sleep, quiet sleep, sucking, crying, body size and gestational age were factor analyzed for 137 normal newborns at 2 days of age. The results yielded 3 stable factors: reactivity-irritability, maturity, and reflexive and discriminative sucking. (JMB)

Peer reviewedStrauss, Milton E.; Rourke, Daniel L. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1978
Discusses differences in results of factor analyses of ten diverse samples which have been studied using the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS). Concludes that a single common factor structure accounts for the intercorrelations among NBAS items. (Author/BH)

PDF pending restorationSepkoski, Carol; And Others – 1977
The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale was administered to 143 healthy newborns. Infants were divided into average-superior and worrisome groups based on the rating of their performance on the "a priori" dimensions and overall profile. Twelve risk variables were entered into a stepwise discriminant analysis for each dimension…

Peer reviewedSameroff, Arnold J.; And Others – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1978
Discusses the structure, reliability, stability, validity and usefulness of the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) and the results of factor and regression analyses of data collected using the NBAS. (Author/BH)

The effects of low, full (normal) and high birthweights on the broad range of neonatal behaviors measured by the Brazelton Neonatal Assessment Scale were investigated in a study which also attempted to replicate results of the authors' earlier study of the Brazelton Scale. Data from the original sample of 52 infants were included in the later…
