Adolescent Psychopathology Scale-Short Form (APS-SF)

The APS-SF Clinical scales include Conduct Disorder (CND), Major Depression (DEP), Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTS), Eating Disturbance (EAT), Academic Problems (ADP), Self-Concept (SCP), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (OPD), Generalized Anxiety Abuse Disorder (GAD), Substance Abuse Disorder (SUB), Suicide (SUI), Anger/Violence Proneness (AVP) and Interpersonal Problems (IPP). The APS-SF Validity scales include Defensiveness (DEF) and Consistency Response (CNR).

The APS-SF provides many benefits to both school and clinical psychologists who work with adolescents:

• Addresses issues regarding school safety by assessing excessive anger and propensity for violence toward others.
• Reliable, derived from the APS.
• Requires only a 3rd-grade reading level.
• Quick, takes only 15-20 minutes to administer.
• Ideal for school-based group settings (ages 12-19 years).
• Scoring Program produces a Clinical Score Report that includes Critical Item endorsements.

Scoring Program

The APS-SF must be scored using the APS-SF Scoring Program. APS-SF item responses are entered into the APS-SF Scoring Program, the user selects the appropriate normative comparison group. In less than five minutes, the program calculates the T-score for each scale and generates the APS-SF Clinical Score Report.
