Abstract
The Parent Daily Report is a 30 item checklist of behavior
problems developed at the Oregon Social Learning Center. Parents
are asked to indicate the presence of each behavior problem on a
0-1 scale (did or did not occur) during the past 24 hours. The first
administration of the PDR took place during the summer interview
with parents. Then, parents received several follow-up telephone
calls from interview staff during the two weeks following the summer
interview. During the first year of the project, four follow-up
telephone calls were made to parents. After initial analyses suggested
that it required only three reports to get a reliable estimate of
child behavior problems, the number of follow-up telephone calls
was reduced to two (in addition to one administration at the time
of the interview). For all of the following analyses, parent's reports
of their child's behavior were averaged across the first three administrations
of the PDR.
For studies in which a highly-differentiated assessment of daily
problem behaviors is desired, the narrow band scales of Overt Aggression,
Oppositional Behavior, Hyperactivity, and Depression should be used.
Covert Antisocial Behavior can also be scored from this measure,
but will probably be included only in analyses in which these very
rare but severe conduct problems are of interest. For studies in
which a moderate-level of differentiated assessment of conduct problems
is desired, the OppAgg summed scale can be used to represent Disruptive
Behaviors. For studies in which a broader band measure of conduct
problems is desired, the OppAggHyp summed scale score from this
measure can be used to represent a total score of conduct problems.
It is not suggested that Covert Antisocial Behaviors be included
in this total score at the kindergarten and first grade level, because
of their very low base rates.
