NLSY79 Child Behavior Problems Index: Composition of the BPI subscales

More information about the Motor & Social Development assessment is provided in the Topical Guide.

The information for the composition of the Temperament scales is divided into two tables to allow for the different pattern of the Sociability subscale composition. More information about the Temperament assessment can be found in the Topical Guide.

The HOME-SF is divided into four parts: one for children under age three; a second for children between the ages of three and five; a third for children ages six through nine; and starting with the 1988 survey round, a fourth version for children ten and over.  The number of individual items varies according to the age of the child. Prior to constructing an overall score and the two subscores for the HOME-SF, all of the individual items are translated into dichotomous zero-one variables and then appropriately summed.
