Childrens Scale for Hostility & Aggression: Reactive/Proactive

Instructions: Based on your experience of your childs behavior in the past month, please first circle
ONE "Problem Scale" answer for each of the items. Please refer to instructions as needed.
Problem Scale: Please circle the number which best reflects your childs behavior.
0 = Does not happen
1 = Mild or infrequent problem
2 = Moderately serious and/or frequent problem
3 = Severe and/or very frequent problem
If this answer is 0, do not select a Who starts it? rating, and move on.
If this answer is a "1," "2," or "3," circle one "Who starts it?" rating for the item.
Who starts it? Scale: Rate this only if you rated the item 1, 2, or 3 on the Problem Scale.
Provocation refers to any action leading to the aggression, no matter how mild (e.g., verbal teasing or
being crowded) or severe (e.g., being hit or kicked), which seems to anger or upset your child and trigger
the behavior.
-2 = Only when provoked, unplanned, or when s/he "just loses it;"
-1 = Usually provoked and/or unplanned;
0 = Equally likely to happen with or without provocation;
1 = Usually the first to act, without provocation;
2 = Always provoked, the first to act (always the one who "starts it")
