TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - Context effects in the behavioral ratings of hyperactivity JO - Journal of abnormal child psychology A1 - Zentall, S. S. SP - 345 EP - 352 VL - 12 IS - 2 N2 - It was proposed that parents of hyperactive children would observe more problems at home in some but not all home contexts. To test this hypothesis, parents of teacher-identified hyperactive and nonhyperactive children were asked to complete a context-specific behavioral rating scale ( Werry , 1968). Hyperactive children were rated by their parents as changing activities, talking, interrupting, and exhibiting dependency more than nonhyperactive children. Furthermore, those differences between hyperactive and control children were observed primarily in the play and homework contexts.
