The Behavioral Assessment/Clinical Diagnosis Core will be responsible for ensuring that a common set of age appropriate, self-report and behavioral measures are used in all four projects that employ human subjects. The aims of Project 4, Study A, and Project 5 are highly complementary; thus, they employ the same protocol for the home visits done at the early adolescent age period. The Core describes this multi-source, multi-method protocol in some detail. Areas of emphasis include Child Emotional Reactivity and Regulation (temperament); Child Mental Health; Child Attributional Styles (and other social cognitive measures; Child Cognitive Functioning (field tests); Family Characteristics; Peer Characteristics; Parental Mental Health; and Major Life Events and Daily Hassles. With our consultant, Dr. Dahl, the Core will conduct assessments of pubertal timing and also coordinate assessments (e.g., of basal and reactive cortisol in the home) with the Biological Core. In addition to this early adolescent protocol, the Core will process questionnaires and ensure high-quality coding of behavior from videotapes for younger children (7-8 years old) who participate in two twin studies described in Project 4. These assessments generate extensive videotaped records that must be objectively coded. This core will also conduct diagnostic interviews by licensed clinicians on select groups of participants, thus confirming diagnoses made in the field and benefiting Projects 1, 3, 4, and 5. Finally, with our consultant Dr. Kraemer, the Core will publish methodological papers on two topics: (1) Clarifyiing the relationship between categorical field diagnoses of child psychopathology with the DISC and prior and concurrent dimensional symptom scores from the Health and Behavior Questionnaire using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) approaches. Many developmental factors will be incorporated into these analyses. (2) Examining the psychometric quality of the batteries of videotaped measures of emotion reactivity and regulation (temperament), using item analytic and structural modeling approaches. These latter measures capture key risk factors for internalizing behavioral problems.

行为评估/临床诊断核心将负责确保在所有四个采用人类受试者的项目中使用一套通用的适合年龄的自我报告和行为测量方法。项目4、研究A和项目5的目标是高度互补的；因此，他们对青春期早期的家访采用了相同的方案。核心部分详细地描述了这种多源、多方法协议。重点领域包括儿童情绪反应和调节（气质）；儿童心理健康；儿童归因风格（和其他社会认知测量；儿童认知功能（现场测试）；家庭特征；同伴特征；父母心理健康；以及主要生活事件和日常麻烦。与我们的顾问 Dahl 博士一起，核心将进行以下评估：青春期时间，并与生物核心协调评估（例如，在家中的基础皮质醇和反应性皮质醇） 除了这个早期青春期协议外，核心还将处理调查问卷。确保对参与项目 4 中描述的两项双胞胎研究的年幼儿童（7-8 岁）的行为进行高质量编码。这些评估会生成大量的录像记录，必须对其进行客观编码。 该核心还将由有执照的临床医生对选定的参与者组进行诊断访谈，从而确认现场做出的诊断并使项目 1、3、4 和 5 受益。最后，该核心将与我们的顾问 Kraemer 博士一起发表方法论论文关于两个主题：(1) 澄清儿童精神病理学的分类现场诊断与 DISC 与使用接受者操作特征的健康和行为问卷中的先前和并发维度症状评分之间的关​​系（中华民国） 接近。许多发展因素将被纳入这些分析中。 (2) 使用项目分析和结构建模方法，检查情绪反应和调节（气质）录像测量的心理测量质量。后面这些措施捕捉了内化行为问题的关键风险因素。
