Point values are assigned as follows:
Never = 1
Rarely = 2
Sometimes = 3
Often = 4
Frequently = 5
Four subscale scores are computed by summing individual items: Prosocial Behavior and Social Competence subscale (all 19 items); School Adjustment subscale (items 2‚ 7‚ 10‚ 11‚ 15‚ 18 and 19); Peer Preferred Behavior subscale (items 1‚ 3‚ 8‚ 9‚ 13‚ 16 and 17); and Teacher Preferred Behavior subscale (items 5‚ 6‚ 7‚ 12 and 14). A high score on any subscale indicates a great amount of prosocial behavior.
