The Factor Structure of the Reckless Behavior Questionnaire.

Shaw, Daniel S.; And Others

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v21 n3 p305-23 Jun 1992

Relative fits of 3 factor-structure models of adolescent reckless behavior were examined using the 10-item Reckless Behavior Questionnaire with 1,357 college and 181 high school students. Both one- and two-factor models were found to be satisfactory representations. Implications of a study of construct validity are discussed. (SLD)
