Assessment of hyperactivity: Isolating measures of high discriminant ability

Research into hyperactivity has produced many psychometric and observational instruments that demonstrate deficits in hyperactive children vis-à-vis their normal peers. Despite the considerable information that such instruments have yielded, their relative power in classifying a child as hyperactive...

description Research into hyperactivity has produced many psychometric and observational instruments that demonstrate deficits in hyperactive children vis-à-vis their normal peers. Despite the considerable information that such instruments have yielded, their relative power in classifying a child as hyperactive has yet to be explored. The present study focused on this issue by employing a discriminant analysis with a number of instruments, some of which have been used extensively by researchers and clinicians. Results indicate that only 9 of the 27 measures used had the potential to discriminate 13 hyperactive from 13 normal males (mean age 7 yrs 2 mo). Of these, only 3 measures were needed in the discriminant equation for accurate classification. It is suggested that isolating the best discriminant measures will improve clinical assessment and will be central to basic and applied research on hyperactivity. (36 ref)
