Child Attention Problem Scale

This research instrument measures the extent to which a child pays attention and sustains attention during learning or school activities. The instrument was designed to be administered to teachers, who rate students’ attention during lesson delivery and learning interactions. Although the instrument has been reported to be multidimensional, it does not have distinct subscales associated with it. The instrument consists of 26 items that are logically structured to capture learners’ attention-related behaviors. The expected response format elicits participants’ ratings of the severity of attention deficit, using a scale ranging from very high extent to never.

Instruction: Please indicate the extent to which a child exhibits the behavior described in the following statements.
