Evaluated
the reliability and validity of the Child Behavior Scale (CBS),
designed to assess behavioral indicators of risk and competence
in young children. In the spring and fall, teachers used the CBS
to rate their kindergarten children and sociometric measures were
administered to children. Found that scores for six CBS subscales
were internally consistent, distinct, and stable over time. (BC)
