摘要
The inter-rater and test-retest reliability of the Functional Analysis Checklist (FAC) was evaluated for a random sample of target behaviours from a random sample of individuals in behaviour therapy programmes in a state school population. The reliability of the FAC was uniformly poor. This poor reliability was ascribed to the low frequency with which most items on the FAC were endorsed, the lack of training in functional assessment that most raters had, and the very variable forms and rates of behaviour problems rated.
