Aggressiveness: The Child Through an Adult's Eyes Test - Symptoms and Signs
This informant-rating measure is designed to capture an adult’s observations of a child’s aggressive and related externalizing behaviors across everyday contexts. Aggressiveness: The Child Through an Adult's Eyes is completed by a parent or other familiar adult and provides a structured way to summarize perceived patterns of emotional and behavioral reactivity.
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.
Aggressiveness: The Child Through an Adult's Eyes may be used as part of a broader assessment to support clinical interviewing, clarify areas of concern, and monitor change over time in response to environmental shifts or intervention. It was developed by Arnold H. Buss and L. Rowell Huesmann.
