| Abstract: | The inter-rater and test-retest reliabilities, and intemal consistencies of the Reiss Screen for Maladaptive Behavior (Reiss 1987) were evaluated on a random sample of adults with moderate through profound mental retardation living in an institutional setting. Generally, the Reiss Screen showed good inter-rater reliability, modest to good test-retest and good intemal consistency. This suggests that the Reiss Screen has moderate to good psychometric robustness. |
