A methodology was described for operationalizing the terms occasionally and frequently on the Maladaptive Behavior Scale (MacDonald & Barton, 1986), previously developed by modifying Part II of the AAMD Adaptive Behavior Scale. The modal ratings obtained from staff members of 28 rehabilitation agencies were used to define numerically these terms on a revised scale; interrater reliability and item-by-item agreement were slightly greater for the revised scale. On the basis of these findings and raters' comments, it is suggested that a similar methodology might increase the reliability and usefulness of the ABS, Part II.
一种方法被描述用于在适应不良行为量表（MacDonald & Barton，1986）上对“偶尔”和“频繁”这两个术语进行操作化定义，该量表先前是通过修改美国智力缺陷协会适应行为量表的第二部分而制定的。从28个康复机构的工作人员那里获得的模式评分被用于在修订后的量表上对这些术语进行数值定义；修订后的量表在评分者间信度和逐项一致性方面略高。基于这些发现和评分者的评论，有人建议类似的方法可能会提高美国智力缺陷协会适应行为量表第二部分的信度和实用性。
