This study confirms the factor structure of the Reiss Screen for Maladaptive Behavior in a diverse sample. The widely used screening instrument for dual diagnosis is reliable for individuals with mental retardation.

Area of Science:

Psychology
Psychometrics
Clinical Psychology

Background:

The Reiss Screen for Maladaptive Behavior is a widely used instrument for screening dual diagnosis.
Assessing the factorial stability of such instruments is crucial for their reliable application.
Previous research by Reiss (1988a) established an initial factor solution.

Purpose of the Study:

To test the factorial stability of the Reiss Screen for Maladaptive Behavior.
To confirm the factor solution proposed by Reiss (1988a).
To evaluate the instrument's performance in a geographically diverse sample.

Main Methods:

Factorial stability analysis was conducted.
A sample of 448 individuals with varying levels of mental retardation was used.

Related Experiment Videos

Four measures of overall fit (RMSEA, ECVI, NNFI, NFI) were employed.

Main Results:

The analysis demonstrated reasonable fit according to all four measures of overall fit.
The results support the original factor solution of the Reiss Screen.
Factorial stability was confirmed in a geographically diverse sample.

Conclusions:

The Reiss Screen for Maladaptive Behavior exhibits factorial stability.
The findings validate the use of the Reiss Screen for individuals with mental retardation and mental illness.
The study reinforces the reliability of the instrument for dual diagnosis screening.
