Author Description

The Questionnaire on School Maladjustment Problems has been designed for the educational context as an instrument to assess the diversity of maladjusted behaviors which occur in the classroom. The more problematic behaviors can be identified at the class level, overall (if the questionnaire is completed with the whole class in mind, noting whether these behaviors appear within the whole class group), or at the individual level (student by student), identifying which types of behaviors each student presents. The best way to assess the phenomenon of maladjustment problems is to answer the questions honestly, so that intervention can be aimed at improving or modifying inappropriate behaviors.
