Convergent and Discriminant Validity of the Burks Behavior Rating Scales.

- Abstract
The construct validity of the Burks Behavior Rating Scales was investigated by the multitrait-multimethod matrix procedure. Correlations between parent and teacher ratings of 38 children referred for psychological evaluations supported the convergent and discriminant validity of 9 of the 19 scales. Analyses of teacher-teacher correlations for 40 referred children supported the validity of 16 scales. The construct validity of three previously derived broad-band factors labeled Neurotic, Immature, and Hostile-Aggressive was not supported. Results were discussed in terms of the differential validity of the Burks scales. Caution was urged in interpreting scores on scales labeled Poor Intellectuality and Excessive Suffering, as well as scores on the three broad-band factors.
