Factor Validity and Norms for the Aberrant Behavior Checklist in a Community Sample of Children with Mental Retardation.

Marshburn, Elaine C.; Aman, Michael G.

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v22 n3 p357-73 Sep 1992

Teacher ratings on the Aberrant Behavior Checklist were collected on 666 students with mental retardation attending special classes. Classroom placement and age had significant effects on subscale scores, whereas sex failed to affect ratings. The study concludes that the original scoring method, developed for individuals in residential facilities, can be used with community samples. (Author/JDD)
