Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess children's tolerance of specific problem behaviors and to determine if differences in grade levels existed. The Children's Tolerance Scale (CTS) was completed by 469 third to sixth graders. A one-way multivariate analysis of variance yielded significant grade level differences (p < .001), with older children generally the most tolerant. The more outer-directed behaviors (Negative Aggressive and Poor Peer Cooperation) were rated as most disturbing. Implications for mainstreaming behaviorally disordered students and future research are discussed.
