The seven Barber Scales of Self-Regard for Preschool Children were developed to provide instruments for assessing levels of development for individual children. The purpose of this study was to probe into the question of whether or not raters (mothers, fathers, teachers) had difficulties rating children on the scales. Two sources of evidence were available: open-ended comments and whether actual ratings were made or omitted. Each of the seven scales used in the 1975 field test had spaces for comments by the rater. The rater was given the opportunity to comment, or not, on (1) ease or difficulty of rating, (2) what they got out of working with the scale, and (3) if they had any suggestions for improvement. Of the total sample of 177 children rated by at least one parent, there were 173 sets of seven ratings by a mother, 53 sets by a father, and 130 teacher ratings on sets of the seven scales. The data seemed to indicate that the scales were more difficult for teachers than for parents, at least in this sample. As far as parents are concerned, the extremely low frequency of parents commenting adversely coupled with the overwhelming frequency of returned scales with one scale point chosen for a child strongly supports the contention that parents can readily use the Self-Regard Scales to rate their child. This evidence duplicates the results in the 1974 field test. (RC)
