✦ Synopsis

HERBERT QUAY AND DONALD R. PETERSON cases(6. P. 205). In most situations where this instrument might be used, making predictions for all cases would seem to be more important, even though error is increased.

SUMMARY

A 40 item true-false scale for juvenile delinquency was standardized and crossvalidated on a total of 781 cases with a correct classification in 67% of cases. Reliabilities ranged from .53 to .82. Positive correlations were found with the Gough-Peterson scale(3) and with a rating scale of severity of problem behavior.
