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使用人类受试者的所有四个项目中都使用一组适当的年龄，自我报告和行为指标。项目4，研究A和项目5的目的是高度互补的；因此，他们在青少年早期的家庭访问中采用了相同的协议。核心详细描述了该多源，多方法协议。重点的领域包括儿童情感反应性和调节（气质）；儿童心理健康；儿童归因样式（以及其他社会认知措施；儿童认知功能（现场测试）；家庭特征；同伴特征；父母心理健康；主要的生活事件和日常麻烦。与我们的顾问Dahl博士，核心将进行青春期时间的评估，并与基础和反应性核心核心核心相协调，并与该协调核心相协调，并将其与该协议相协调。将处理问卷，并确保参与项目4中描述的两项双胞胎研究的年幼儿童（7-8岁）的录像带的高质量编码。这些评估产生了必须客观编码的广泛录像记录。 该核心还将对有执照的临床医生对选定的参与者进行诊断访谈，从而确认在现场进行的诊断并使项目1、3、4和5的项目受益。最后，核心将在Kraemer博士的顾问中发表有关两个主题的方法论论文：（1）澄清与儿童精神病学症状的关系，并阐明了与儿童精神病学的症状之间的关系。使用接收器操作特征（ROC）的问卷调查表 方法。这些分析将纳入许多发展因素。 （2）使用项目分析和结构建模方法检查录像带反应性和调节（气质）电池电池的心理测量质量。这些后者的措施捕获了内在行为问题的关键风险因素。
