Abstract

The Nisonger CBRF is a new informant behavior rating scale that was adapted for assessing children and adolescents with mental retardation. A total of 369 children referred to interdisciplinary diagnostic clinics for children with developmental disabilities were rated on the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form by their parents and teachers. Normative data (means, T scores, and percentages) are presented. Subscale scores were analyzed as a function of age and gender. Age influenced 3 of 8 subscales on the parent ratings and 1 subscale on the teacher ratings. Gender did not influence subscale scores. Age and gender results are discussed in relation to previous studies of subject variables.

Instruments for evaluating pharmacotherapy intervention efficacy in violent and aggressive behavior and conduct disorder in youth
2017, Aggression and Violent Behavior
Citation Excerpt :
It exists in a psychometrically sound Romanian form (Mircea et al., 2010). Age and gender bias may be present for the conduct problems and insecure/anxious subscales (Tassé et al., 1996). Several psychometric studies have been conducted on the NCBRF that examined various forms of reliability and validity with mixed results (Mircea et al., 2010).
There is a need to identify the most appropriate standardized instruments for research evaluating pharmacotherapy for youth with violent and aggressive behaviors. Youth violence and aggression are heterogeneous behaviors which differ depending on age and gender.
Instruments used in randomised controlled trials evaluating efficacy of pharmacotherapy in conduct disorder and its comorbidities were reviewed for psychometric, administrative and practicality evidence. Evidence was rated on a 3-point scale, adapted from the Scientific Advisory Committee's Instrument Review Criteria.
Of the nine included instruments, the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form (NCBRF), Conners' 3rd Edition, and Behavior Problems Inventory (BPI-01) were rated the highest for their psychometric properties. The Children's Aggression Scale (CAS), Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) and Disruptive Behavior Disorder Rating Scale (DBDRS) were rated moderate, and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS) and Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Rating Scale (SNAP-IV) were rated lowest. The NCBRF, BPI-01 and CAS were the only instruments that could be used to measure both frequency and severity of aggressive behaviors. The CAS and MOAS featured the most items pertaining to violence and aggression.
The broad-band scales, the NCBRF and Conners' 3rd Edition, rated highest for their psychometric properties, however their usefulness in youth violence and aggression research is limited. The heterogeneity of aggressive and violent behaviors, age, gender, functional level, situational context and the type of informant should be taken into account when considering an appropriate instrument. All items in the CAS and the MOAS can be used to measure violent and/or aggressive behaviors. Further research into the psychometric properties of the MOAS in violent and aggressive youth is required before its use can be recommended. The CAS was found to be the most psychometrically sound and useful instrument that exclusively measures aggressive behaviors in youth.
The Mediating Effects of Positive Cognitions on Autism Caregivers' Depression and Their Children's Challenging Behaviors
2016, Archives of Psychiatric Nursing
Citation Excerpt :
The mean scores of caregivers of persons with ASD in this study is 16.34 (SD = 11.81). Children's challenging behaviors (Social behavior and problem behavior) was measured by the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form (Nisonger CBRF) and was used to identify the problem behaviors as well as the social adaptive behaviors in children with ASD (Aman, Tasse, Rojahn, & Hammer, 1996; Tassé, Aman, Hammer, & Rojahn, 1996). The study used “the parent version” and it was completed by the caregivers.
Caregivers of persons with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are prone to depression and psychological problems, which have an impact on their children's challenging behaviors. Positive cognitions include specific positive thinking patterns that enhance one's ability to effectively manage daily activities and promote mental health. The purpose of this research is to test the mediating effects of positive cognitions on the relationship between caregivers' depression and their children's challenging behaviors among 117 caregivers of persons with ASD. Positive cognitions were found to have mediating effects on the relationship between caregiver's depression and their children's challenging behaviors in this sample of caregivers of persons with ASD. Nurses are in a strategic position to include in their interventions those strategies that strengthen positive cognitions in order to improve the caregivers' positive cognitions and well-being, which, in turn will have an impact on their children's challenging behaviors.
Do We Know If They Work and If They Are Safe: Second-Generation Antipsychotics for Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders and Disruptive Behavior Disorders in Children and Adolescents
2015, The Science and Ethics of Antipsychotic Use in Children
Second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) usage by children and adolescents is relatively accepted and has Canadian regulatory approval for treatment of schizophrenia and classical bipolar disorder in youth. Use of SGAs in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) is, however, more controversial. In order to contextualize the current evidence base, comprehensive literature searches were carried out to identify all published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for SGAs used as treatment for ASDs (eight trials) and DBDs (nine trials). Most published data demonstrated efficacy of SGAs for the primary outcome measure, with more variation in efficacy data for DBD trials compared to ASD trials. Wide variation was observed in reporting of adverse effects, and metabolic adverse effects were not well characterized in most trials. This detracts from providing conclusive evidence for or against the use of SGAs in children with ASDs and DBDs. Ethical considerations arise in light of this ambiguity.
Do maternal attributions play a role in the acceptability of behavioural interventions for problem behaviour in children with autism spectrum disorders?
2013, Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Citation Excerpt :
It was anticipated that the example behaviour the participants would think of might vary greatly across different types of problem behaviour (e.g., ranging from stereotyped behaviour to self-injurious behaviour) and this might obscure interpretation of the findings, therefore a list of disruptive behaviour examples1 was added to the scale in this study as a prompt to help parents recall an example of their child's disruptive behaviour. The disruptive behaviour examples were based on the conduct problem subscale of the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form (NCBRF; Aman, Tassé, Rojahn, & Hammer, 1996; Tassé, Aman, Hammer, & Rojahn, 1996) and were reviewed by a senior researcher with specialism in ASD. Based on their perceived causes of the behavioural example they identified in their own child, participants were then asked to rate their agreement with 12 attributional statements, with two statements assessing each attributional dimension, using a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree).
The present study explored the relationship between parental attributions and treatment acceptability of behavioural interventions for problem behaviour in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Mothers of children with ASD aged 3–9 years (N = 139) completed survey measures that assessed demographics, parental attributions, treatment acceptability of parent-focused and child-focused behavioural interventions, severity of their child's disruptive behaviour, and severity of their child's ASD symptoms. The results showed that parental attributions of parent-referent stability, but not the other attributional dimensions, negatively predicted treatment acceptability of a parent-focused behavioural intervention, even when severity of disruptive behaviour was statistically controlled. Conversely, no associations were found between any attributional dimension and treatment acceptability of a child-focused behavioural intervention. Preliminary analyses also revealed that mothers’ ratings of the severity of their child's disruptive behaviour were significantly negatively associated with the acceptability of both parent-focused and child-focused behavioural interventions. The findings have potential implications for professionals to identify and challenge distorted attributions of parent-referent stability to promote parental acceptance of a parent-focused behavioural intervention for problem behaviour in children with ASD.
