This measure is designed to support structured observation of child aggressive behavior across everyday contexts. The Child Aggressiveness Assessment is typically completed by adults who know the child well (e.g., caregivers or school staff) to summarize observable behaviors rather than relying solely on child self-report. It contains 20 items and generally takes about 4 minutes to complete.
Items focus on situationally anchored indicators of irritability, conflict, and aggressive responses, allowing clinicians to compare patterns across settings such as home and school. When used alongside clinical interview and other collateral information, the Child Aggressiveness Assessment can help characterize the frequency and context of aggressive behaviors and inform monitoring over time.
