Abstract
More than a decade of intense research scrutiny of various issues concerning the diagnosis of attention deficit disorder, much of it focused directly at the question of hyperactivity versus aggression, has brought less, rather than more, uniformity of diagnosis across investigators. It is presently unusual to find two different investigators using identical operational procedures to select an attention deficit/hyperactive sample. Despite all of the research, or perhaps because of it, it is not even unusual to find the same investigator using substantially different procedures in two consecutive studies.
