title: The measurement of attention deficit disorder with behavior ratings of parents.
abstract: A factor analysis of the "Behavior and Temperament Survey--Home Version" resulted in four independent dimensions that were consistent with the DSM-III diagnostic criteria for inattention, hyperactivity, and conduct disorders. A factor dimension labeled "Impulsivity," not in DSM-III also resulted. Data include correlations between scales, descriptive statistics, and reliability estimates. They also show the stability of the BTS-H over a three-year period.
