The RBPC is used to rate problem behaviors observed in adolescents and young children.

A valuable component of an overall battery

  • The six RBPC subscales measure conduct disorder, socialized aggression, attention problems/immaturity, anxiety/withdrawal, psychotic behavior, and motor tension/excess.
  • Designed for use in conjunction with other measures as part of an overall assessment of the individual.
  • Has been used to screen for behavioral disorders in schools, as an aid in clinical diagnosis, to measure behavioral change associated with psychological or pharmacological interventions, as part of a battery to classify juvenile offenders, and to select participants for research on behavior disorders in children and adolescents.

Administration and scoring are straightforward

  • Raters respond to the 89 items on the top page of the carbonless test booklet. Responses transfer to the bottom sheet, which contains scoring instructions and a scoring key.
  • The RBPC Profile Sheet is used to record the obtained raw and T scores and to plot the pattern of the test results.
