Social Behavior Inventory [1]
The SBI is a 30-item checklist that can be completed by a parent or therapist to assess the interpersonal behavior of children aged 3-17 who have experienced abuse or witnessed domestic violence. The author suggests the measure can also be used prudently with other populations.
The inventory yields a total Social Competence Score as well as scores for 5 scales derived through factor analysis: 1) Aversive-Miscommunication, 2) Aversive-Insensitive, 3) Aversive-Argumentative, 4) Prosocial-Genuine, and 5) Prosocial-Direct.
Four Violence Risk Classification scores can also be calculated: 1) Aggression, 2) Anger, 3) Past Violence, and 4) Future Violence.
