The behavior of 181 adolescents diagnosed as conduct disordered was rated by three groups of raters on the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist. Raters included special education teachers, regular education teachers, and mental health professionals who had daily contact with adolescents in a state residential treatment facility. Subscale means and standard deviations were calculated for ratings by all three groups. Analysis of variance revealed statistically significant differences among mean ratings for the three groups. Post hoc procedures indicated statistically significant differences between ratings by special education teachers and regular education teachers across all six RBPC subscales. For the Conduct Disorder and Socialized Aggression subscales, special education teachers rated the students' behavior as more deviant than did the regular education teachers, while mental health professionals rated behavior as more deviant than did special education teachers. Pearson product-moment correlation cofficients revealed a low degree of agreement among all three group of raters. Implications are discussed.
