“…A yes/no format was used so that it would be easily understood by 7-year-olds. Assessments were based on the Dominique Interactif, which has been shown to have adequate reliability and validity for young children (Linares Scott, Short, Singer, Russ, & Minnes, 2006;Shojaei et al, 2009;Valla, Bergeron, Be´rube´, Gaudet, & St-Georges, 1994;Valla, Bergeron, & Smolla, 2000). Scores were z-standardized for each informant and averaged across informants to construct one overall score ( Table 1): The AGGR scale included physical, proactive, and reactive aggression (11-12 items per informant); the ADHD scale consisted of 8-9 items per informant; NAEX combined non-aggressive conduct disorder and opposition and defiance (6-9 items); ANXDEP consisted of 7-9 items.…”
