CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It measures how strongly aggressive reactions appear in everyday behavior, including irritability, verbal or physical aggression, and passive resistance. Scores reflect the adult’s observed impressions rather than the child’s self-report.

Who should complete the questionnaire?

It should be completed by a parent or another adult who knows the child well and observes the child regularly. The respondent should base answers on typical behavior across recent weeks.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Completion usually takes about 13 minutes. The questionnaire contains 67 items.

How should responses be selected?

Select the option that best matches the child’s usual behavior, not a single unusual episode. If behavior varies by setting, choose the response that reflects what occurs most often.

How should results be used?

Results can support screening, planning of support strategies, and monitoring change over time. They should be interpreted together with other information and not used as a stand-alone diagnosis.

The instrument includes 67 items and typically takes about 13 minutes to complete. Items sample behavior such as irritability, verbal or physical aggression, and oppositional or resistant responses, emphasizing the adult informant’s perspective rather than the child’s self-report.
