title: Cross-cultural studies with the Conners rating scales.
abstract: The teacher and parent forms of the Conners Rating Scales were completed by the parents and teachers of 863 children who were living in an area of Bombay, India. Two socioeconomic strata were sampled. The results were compared to American norms for ratings done by parents and teachers. The teacher ratings demonstrated some clear differences from American norms. Correlational analysis suggested that the Conners scales showed greater overlap, and, hence, less independence, than has been reported in the American research literature.
