Psychometric properties and reference point data for the revised edition of the school observation coding system

Adjustment scales for preschool intervention: Extending validity and relevance across multiple perspectives

“…Validity of the ASPI was extended in two ways: first, by examining the relationship between ASPI constructs and a direct observational measure of preschool behavior problems (REDSOCS; Jacobs et al, 2000); and second, by testing the relationship between ASPI constructs and two child characteristics relevant to emotional and behavioral adjustment: temperament and emotion regulation. Independent REDSOCS observations of overactive and underactive classroom problem behaviors related significantly to all ASPI dimensions providing further convergent and divergent validity for the ASPI.…”

“…A modified version of the Revised Edition of the School Observation Coding System (REDSOCS; Jacobs et al, 2000) was used for direct observation of preschool classroom behavior problems. The REDSOCS was designed to assess a young child's behavior in a classroom setting (e.g., preschool, Head Start, kindergarten classrooms).…”

Teacher-Child Interaction Training: A Pilot Study With Random Assignment

“…Revised Edition of the School Observation Coding System [REDSOCS; Jacobs et al, 2000]), the method we attempted was neither reliable nor valid for assessing problem behavior in multiple students at a time in a general education classroom. This challenge highlights the need to identify an observational coding system that captures relevant constructs for groups of children over time.…”

Breakfast and Classroom Behaviour: An Observational Study of Grade 3 Students in a Bilingual Demonstration School, in Thailand

“…The Revised Edition of the School Observation Coding System (REDSOCS) was tested for tested for psychometric properties and reference point data by (Jacobs et al, 2000 Newcomb, & Funderburk, 1991). The REDSOCS yields three scores for each observed child:…”

“…A modified Revised Edition of the School Observation coding system (REDSOCS) (Jacobs, et al, 2000). Two cameras were set up in the classroom and used to unobtrusively observe two groups of students and record a time segment of 10 minutes.…”
