The Reiss Screen for Maladaptive Behavior: Confirmatory factor analysis

We tested the factorial stability of the Reiss Screen for Maladaptive Behavior (Reiss, 1988a, The Reiss Screen for Maladaptive Behavior test manual). Reasonable fit was demonstrated in a geographically diverse sample of 448 individuals with mild, moderate, severe and profound mental retardation according to four measures of overall fit: RMSEA, ECVI, NNFI, and NFI. The results confirm Reissʹ (1988a) factor solution of this widely used dual diagnosis (mental retardation and mental illness) screening instrument.
