Abstract

Addressed deficiencies of traditional classification approaches to school refusal behavior through the development of the School Refusal Assessment Scale (SRAS). The scale identifies maintaining variables of school refusal behavior, including dimensions of negative and positive reinforcement. Results indicated child and parent versions of the scale to be reliable across time and between parent raters. Correlational data supported the hypothesis that separate functional conditions could be distinguished. The SRAS is proposed as a potentially useful clinical tool for objectively assigning prescriptive treatment strategies for this population. Recommendations for further research are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
