title: The teacher interview.
abstract: The teachers and caretakers (on kibbutzim) of the index and control children were questioned about a variety of behaviors, including emotional adjustment, school performance and achievement, interests and activities, and relations with others. Index children were rated as more impaired or disturbed than control subjects in the following areas: schoolwork, mood, suspiciousness, daydreaming, antisocial behavior, hypochondriasis, and accident proneness. No differences were seen in anxiety, aggression, phobias, obsessive-compulsive behavior, eating and sleep disturbances, shame, and frustration tolerance. There were few differences between assessments of index and control children on kibbutzim and towns. Male index subjects tended to be seen as especially poorly adjusted.
