Goh, David S.
Psychology in the Schools, v34 n4 p301-08 Oct 1997
Examines whether the criterion-related validity of the Devereux Behavior Rating Scales--School Form (DSF) can be generalized to racial/ethnic subpopulations. Results based on 267 children support the DSF's utility in screening for serious emotional disturbance. Findings suggest its criterion related validity are generalizable to Caucasian, African American, and Hispanic children. (RJM)
