Abstract
A multiple matrix sampling procedure was used to obtain local norms on the Children's Adaptive Behavior Scale (CABS). Matrix sampling is briefly explained and then exemplified in the method section. A sample of 158 children was drawn from a population of 784 fourth graders in a local Midwestern school system. The estimates based on the local sample were compared with the standardization data from the preliminary national sample. Of the five CABS subtests, two were significantly different. Differences between variances of the local and national samples were also observed. The standard deviations of the lo cal sample were more restricted. The implications of the findings are discussed as they relate to the assessment of children's adaptive behavior functioning.Keywords
