The Behavioral Assessment/Clinical Diagnosis Core will be responsible for ensuring that a common set of age appropriate, self-report and behavioral measures are used in all four projects that employ human subjects. The aims of Project 4, Study A, and Project 5 are highly complementary; thus, they employ the same protocol for the home visits done at the early adolescent age period. The Core describes this multi-source, multi-method protocol in some detail. Areas of emphasis include Child Emotional Reactivity and Regulation (temperament); Child Mental Health; Child Attributional Styles (and other social cognitive measures; Child Cognitive Functioning (field tests); Family Characteristics; Peer Characteristics; Parental Mental Health; and Major Life Events and Daily Hassles. With our consultant, Dr. Dahl, the Core will conduct assessments of pubertal timing and also coordinate assessments (e.g., of basal and reactive cortisol in the home) with the Biological Core. In addition to this early adolescent protocol, the Core will process questionnaires and ensure high-quality coding of behavior from videotapes for younger children (7-8 years old) who participate in two twin studies described in Project 4. These assessments generate extensive videotaped records that must be objectively coded. This core will also conduct diagnostic interviews by licensed clinicians on select groups of participants, thus confirming diagnoses made in the field and benefiting Projects 1, 3, 4, and 5. Finally, with our consultant Dr. Kraemer, the Core will publish methodological papers on two topics: (1) Clarifyiing the relationship between categorical field diagnoses of child psychopathology with the DISC and prior and concurrent dimensional symptom scores from the Health and Behavior Questionnaire using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) approaches. Many developmental factors will be incorporated into these analyses. (2) Examining the psychometric quality of the batteries of videotaped measures of emotion reactivity and regulation (temperament), using item analytic and structural modeling approaches. These latter measures capture key risk factors for internalizing behavioral problems.

行为评估/临床诊断核心将负责确保在所有四个雇用人类受试者的项目中使用一套通用的年龄适当的、自我报告和行为措施。项目4、研究A和项目5的目标是高度互补的;因此，它们在青少年早期进行家访时采用相同的方案。Core详细描述了这种多源、多方法的协议。重点领域包括儿童情绪反应和调节（气质）;儿童心理健康;儿童归因方式（和其他社会认知措施）;儿童认知功能（现场测试）;家庭特征;同伴特征;父母心理健康;和主要生活事件和日常麻烦。与我们的顾问Dahl博士一起，核心将对青春期时间进行评估，并协调评估（例如，的基础和反应性皮质醇在家里）与生物核心。除了这个早期青少年方案，核心将处理调查问卷，并确保参与项目4中描述的两项双胞胎研究的年幼儿童（7-8岁）的录像带中的高质量行为编码。这些评估产生了大量的录像记录，必须客观地编码。 这一核心还将由有执照的临床医生对选定的参与者群体进行诊断访谈，从而确认在实地作出的诊断，并使项目1、3、4和5受益。最后，与我们的顾问Kraemer博士一起，核心将发表关于两个主题的方法学论文：（1）阐明儿童精神病理学的分类领域诊断与DISC之间的关系，以及使用受试者操作特征（ROC）的健康和行为问卷的既往和同期维度症状评分 接近。许多发展因素将纳入这些分析。(2)使用项目分析和结构建模方法，检查情绪反应和调节（气质）的录像测量的心理测量质量。后一种方法捕捉了内化行为问题的关键风险因素。
