Abstract
A solution is demonstrated for the chronic research problem of summarizing teachers' discrete observations of pupil behaviors. A complex classification system conceptualized by Leary & Coffey (L-C) was used to combine a possible maximum of 72 teacher nominations per child in a fifth grade sample ( N = 468) from eight socio-ethnically diverse schools. Classification into one of four categories ws possible for 224 pupils. Opposing types, compared on each of 17 criterion measures (GPA, intelligence, achievement, sociometric choice, and self-report instruments), supported the L-C model's viability for such data summarization and for developmental comparison.
