Miller, Faith G.; Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Welsh, Megan E.; Riley-Tillman, T. Chris; Fabiano, Gregory A. – School Psychology, 2019
Responsive service delivery frameworks rely on the use of screening approaches to identify students in need of support and to guide subsequent assessment and intervention efforts. However, limited empirical investigations have been directed to informing how often screening should occur for social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties in school…

Miller, Faith G.; Cohen, Daniel; Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Riley-Tillman, T. Chris; Welsh, Megan E.; Fabiano, Gregory A. – School Psychology Quarterly, 2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between teacher-implemented screening measures used to identify social, emotional, and behavioral risk. To this end, 5 screening options were evaluated: (a) Direct Behavior Rating-Single Item Scales (DBR-SIS), (b) Social Skills Improvement System-Performance Screening Guide (SSiS), (c)…

Kilgus, Stephen P.; Riley-Tillman, T. Chris; Stichter, Janine P.; Schoemann, Alexander M.; Bellesheim, Katie – School Psychology Quarterly, 2016
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the reliability of Direct Behavior Ratings--Social Competence (DBR-SC) ratings. Participants included 60 students identified as possessing deficits in social competence, as well as their 23 classroom teachers. Teachers used DBR-SC to complete ratings of 5 student behaviors within the general…

Kilgus, Stephen P.; Van Wie, Michael P.; Sinclair, James S.; Riley-Tillman, T. Chris; Herman, Keith C. – School Psychology, 2019
Research has supported the applied use of Direct Behavior Rating Single-Item Scale (DBR-SIS) targets of "academic engagement" and "disruptive behavior" for a range of purposes, including universal screening and progress monitoring. Though useful in evaluating social behavior and externalizing problems, these targets have…

Briesch, Amy M.; Kilgus, Stephen P.; Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Riley-Tillman, T. Chris; Christ, Theodore J. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2013
The current study served to extend previous research on scaling construction of Direct Behavior Rating (DBR) in order to explore the potential flexibility of DBR to fit various intervention contexts. One hundred ninety-eight undergraduate students viewed the same classroom footage but rated student behavior using one of eight randomly assigned…

Kilgus, Stephen P.; Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Riley-Tillman, T. Chris – School Psychology Quarterly, 2013
The purpose of the current investigation was to develop and provide initial validation of the "Social and Academic Behavior Risk Screener" (SABRS). Research was conducted in southeast elementary schools with 54 teacher and 243 student participants. An initial item pool was created through review of developmental research on the…

Christ, Theodore J.; Riley-Tillman, T. Chris; Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Boice, Christina H. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2010
Generalizability theory was used to examine the generalizability and dependability of outcomes from two single-item Direct Behavior Rating (DBR) scales: DBR of actively manipulating and DBR of visually distracted. DBR is a behavioral assessment tool with specific instrumentation and procedures that can be used by a variety of service delivery…

Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Riley-Tillman, T. Chris; Briesch, Amy M.; Chanese, Julie A. M. – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2008
In this study, a self-report measure of intervention usage, the Usage Rating Profile for Interventions (URP-I) is developed and empirically examined with regard to factor structure and internal consistency. Results supported that intervention usage is associated with at least 4 different constructs, and that a measure consisting of 25 items may…

Riley-Tillman, T. Chris; Christ, Theodore J.; Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Boice-Mallach, Christina H.; Briesch, Amy – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2011
In this study, evaluation of direct behavior rating (DBR) occurred with regard to two primary areas: (a) accuracy of ratings with varied instrumentation (anchoring: proportional or absolute) and procedures (observation length: 5 min, 10 min, or 20 min) and (b) one-week test-retest reliability. Participants viewed video clips of a typical third…

Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Christ, Theodore J.; Riley-Tillman, T. Chris – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2009
Generalizability theory is used to examine the impact of scaling gradients on a single-item Direct Behavior Rating (DBR). A DBR refers to a type of rating scale used to efficiently record target behavior(s) following an observation occasion. Variance components associated with scale gradients are estimated using a random effects design for persons…

Chafouleas, Sandra; Riley-Tillman, T. Chris; Sugai, George – Guilford Publications, 2007
This book helps school practitioners go beyond putting a label on student behavior problems--it shows how to use assessment to partner with teachers and students to develop effective solutions. The authors provide a framework for determining the types of behavioral data that are needed in a given situation, selecting appropriate measures, and…
