The BASICS Behavioral Adjustment Scale

BBAS Practice Set BBAS Questionnaire BBAS Profile Sheet

Although temperament is an important dimension of behavior and personality, profes-sionals working with children often need to determine whether there are adjustment issuesother than temperament-environment ones. Does the child’s behavior fall within the normalrange, or is adjustment is either poor or above average? BBAS assesses behavioral adjust-ment apart from normal temperament variations. It was designed to avoid some of the prob-lems of commonly used scales currently in use with children, such as lack of focus on behav-ioral assets and tendency to be too global or have too many items.The BBAS is 48 item par-ent report questionnaire that determines behavioral adjustment in 4 to 14 year old children.Behavioral adjustment is defined by 5 areas of functioning:

Behavior in social relationships (parents, sibs, teachers, etc);Achievement (schoolwork, homework, chores, hobbies);Self-Relations (self-esteem, self-care, self-regulation); Internal State (contentment, anxiety, mood, thought processes);Coping (identifying, solving, persisting, etc);Symptoms (eating, sleeping, elimination, etc).

BBAS separates behavior from temperament and identlfies strengths as well as problem areas.

BBAS functions as:• A behavioral inventory of personal strengths and weaknesses• A comprehensive review of environmental stressors and assets• A "symptom" checklist in special behavioral areas• A "datacatcher" for mental health history in biological relatives• A behavioral rating scale of specific aspects of current adjustment• A norm referenced test of behavioral adjustment in 5 important areas

BBAS Professional Practice Sets with Profile SheetsThe Professional Practice Set includes the test manual and 25 or 100 questionnaires,with profile sheets for hand scoring.
