Abstract
Four hundred forty-one children in public school classes for the emotionally disturbed were rated by their teachers on a checklist of problem behaviors. Factor analysis of the intercorrelations of the behaviors indicated that three factors could account for 16 percent of the variance. These were labeled conduct problem or unsocialized aggression, inadequacy-immaturity, and personality problem or neuroticism. Results were consonant with similar studies of other groups of problem children. The results also suggest the likelihood that differential programs for emotionally disturbed children will be necessary, depending upon their primary behavioral characteristics.
