ABSTRACT
The pilot study asked whether responses to the DAS task by aggressive children and adolescents have distinctive characteristics that can be quantified and scored, and whether the scores can serve to identify those at risk. Previous studies had found that responses scoring 1 point on the DAS scale can serve to screen for depression, as discussed in chapter 3. The pilot study asked if there were significant differences between the scores of aggressive students and a control group of presumably nonaggressive students.
