Note on reliability of the Carlson Psychological Survey.
The Carlson Psychological Survey is designed to assess and classify criminal offenders but its reliability has not been estimated for use with female adolescents. The survey was administered to 36 female adjudicated delinquents between the ages of 14 and 16 years and readministered after a 2-wk. interval to estimate test-retest reliability. Support for its stability over 2 wk. with this specific adolescent population was obtained.
