Behavioral Characteristics Of Children : Replication Studies With Foster Children
Abstract:
A replication study of rated behavioral characteristics of children is shown to yield stable factor structures for two groups of observers: foster mothers and social workers. Stability of cluster scores of ratings is established, as is agreement between the two classes of observers. Cluster scores are shown to differentiate between outpatient and foster children groups of subjects. It is also found that social workers consistently rate foster children in the direction of more pathology than do the foster mothers.
