A Multivariate Analysis of the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale in Several Samples.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Strauss, Milton E.; Rourke, Daniel L. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1978
Discusses differences in results of factor analyses of ten diverse samples which have been studied using the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS). Concludes that a single common factor structure accounts for the intercorrelations among NBAS items. (Author/BH)

Introduction. Organization and Stability of Newborn Behavior: A Commentary on the Brazelton Neonatal Behavior Assessment Scale.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brazelton, T. Berry – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1978
Provides an overview of the development of the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS), the nature of the instrument and conditions for its proper administration, and issues underlying the use of the NBAS in research (e.g., reliability). The first in a series of articles in a single monograph assessing the NBAS. (BH)
Descriptors: Child Development, Discovery Processes, Infant Behavior, Infants
Stability and Instability in the Newborn Infant: The Quest for Elusive Threads.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Horowitz, Frances Degen; And Others – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1978
Reviews issues of reliability (especially test-retest reliability) in newborn assessment, discusses predictive models based on newborn assessment, and presents information on modifications of the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale which may help in pursuing fruitful questions involving prediction of development. (Author/BH)
Descriptors: Child Development, Infant Behavior, Infants, Models
Summary and Conclusions: The Future of Newborn Assessment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sameroff, Arnold J. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1978
Discusses the role and limitations of the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale in the continuing effort to construct an adequate account of infant development. (BH)
Descriptors: Child Development, Infant Behavior, Infants, Measurement Techniques
Assessing an Assessment: Conceptual considerations, Methodological Issues, and a Perspective on the Future of the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Als, Heidelise – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1978
Describes the conceptual model of newborn organization underlying the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS). Argues that while the NBAS allows for the identification of an individual's behavioral repertoire, attempts to synthesize the resulting data have been plagued with difficulties. Briefly outlines an alternative model for…

Childbirth and Infant Development Knowledge Gaps and "Reverse Gaps": When Books Are Not Enough.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
O'Leary, Joann; Gaziano, Cecilie – 1996
The knowledge gap hypothesis predicts that infusions of information into an environment will lead to stronger relationships between education and knowledge for higher socioeconomic (SES) segments of the population, and ultimately, a relative gap between higher and lower SES groups. The hypothesis usually focuses on mass media but is also relevant…

Contextual Influences on the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale and Implications for Its Cross-cultural Use.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
deVries, Marten; Super, Charles M. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1978
Argues that using the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale outside the standard hospital setting introduces variations in the physical and social context that influence scores on some of the behavioral items. (Author/BH)
Descriptors: Child Development, Cross Cultural Studies, Environmental Influences, Infant Behavior
Issues in Grouping Items from the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sameroff, Arnold J.; And Others – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1978
Discusses the structure, reliability, stability, validity and usefulness of the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) and the results of factor and regression analyses of data collected using the NBAS. (Author/BH)
