The Aberrant Behavior Checklist was used to collect data from a large United States institution for comparison with ratings previously obtained in New Zealand. A total of 531 subjects within the American facility and 937 residents of New Zealand institutions were studied. The United States data were factor analyzed using the same procedures that were employed to develop the scale in New Zealand. In addition, subscales of the Checklist were analyzed as a function of sex, age, country, and level of mental retardation. Finally, the effects of various medical conditions were analyzed. The original factor structure of the Checklist was validated for the United States sample, with a mean coefficient of congruence of .93 averaged across the five factors. Sex failed to influence subscale scores, whereas age, country, and severity of retardation significantly affected ratings. Deafness was unrelated to Checklist scores whereas cerebral palsy, epilepsy, psychosis, and psychoactive drug treatment were related.
异常行为检查表用于从美国一家大型机构收集数据，以便与之前在新西兰获得的评分进行比较。对美国机构内的531名受试者和新西兰机构的937名居民进行了研究。美国的数据采用与新西兰开发该量表相同的程序进行因子分析。此外，检查表的子量表还根据性别、年龄、国家和智力迟钝程度进行了分析。最后，分析了各种医疗状况的影响。检查表的原始因子结构在美国样本中得到验证，五个因子的平均一致性系数为0.93。性别未对分量表得分产生影响，而年龄、国家和智力迟钝严重程度则显著影响评分。耳聋与检查表得分无关，而脑瘫、癫痫、精神病和精神活性药物治疗则与之相关。
