The BRP-2 is a unique battery of six norm-referenced instruments that provides different evaluations of a student’s behavior at home, at school, and in interpersonal relationships from the varied perspectives of parents, teachers, peers, and the target students themselves. The responses allow examiners to test different diagnostic hypotheses when confronted with reports of problem behavior. The BRP2 can identify students whose behavior is perceived to be deviant, the settings in which behavior problems are prominent, and the persons whose perceptions of a student¹s behavior are different from those of other respondents.

The BRP-2 is appropriate for students in Grades 1 through 12. The BRP2 components were all normed individually on large, representative populations. The Student Rating Scales normative group included 2,682 students residing in 26 states. The Parent Rating Scales were completed by 1,948 parents in 19 different states, and the Teacher Rating Scales were normed on a group of 1,452 teachers from 26 states. The internal consistency reliability of the BRP-2 components was established with normal subjects and with groups of students who were learning disabled and emotionally disturbed. Coefficients generally exceed .80 at all ages. Stability reliability coefficients are also reported.

Extensive evidence of validity is reported in the manual. Correlations between the BRP2 components and other measures of behavior are reported.

Complete BRP-2 Kit includes: Examiner’s Manual, 50 Student Rating Scale Booklets, 50 Parent Rating Scale Booklets, 50 Teacher Rating Scale Booklets, and 50 Profile Sheets, all in a sturdy storage box. (1990)
