Measure an Adolescent's View of Their Own Self-Regulation

 

We recommend the newer version, BRIEF2. The BRIEF2 includes Parent, Teacher, and Self-Report forms and updated norms from all 50 U.S. states.

The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function® –Self-Report Version (BRIEF® -SR) is an 80-item standardized self-report measure developed to capture older childrens' and adolescents’ (aged 11 to 18 years with a fifth grade or better reading level) views of their own executive functions, or self-regulation, in their everyday environment.

Designed to complement the BRIEF Parent and Teacher Forms, the BRIEF-SR captures a child or adolescent's view of his or her own purposeful, goal-directed, problem-solving behavior.

Features and benefits

  • Provides multiple perspectives. Can be used alone or in tandem with the BRIEF Parent or Teacher forms.
  • Focuses treatment planning. Understanding an adolescent’s level of awareness of his or her own difficulties with self-regulation is a critical element in focused treatment and educational planning.
  • Appropriate for use with a broad range of conditions. The BRIEF-SR is designed to be completed by children and adolescents with a 5th-grade or higher reading level, including individuals with attention disorders, language disorders, traumatic brain injuries, lead exposure, learning disabilities, high-functioning autism spectrum disorders, and other developmental, neurological, psychiatric, and medical conditions.
  • Nonoverlapping scales. Theoretically and statistically derived scales measure different aspects of an adolescent’s behavior, such as his or her ability to control impulses, move freely from one situation to the next, modulate responses, anticipate future events, and keep track of the effect of his or her behavior on others.
