Reports an error in the original article by Dreger (Journal of Abnormal Psychology. Vol 90(3) Jun 1981, 242-260). On page 256, the two columns under the two middle headings in Table 6 should be interchanged. (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1981-24783-001.) Describes 1st-, 2nd, and 3rd-order factor analyses of the responses of 1,278 parents to the Children's Behavioral Classification Project (CBCP) instrument. At the 1st order, 30 factors were derived, 26 of which matched factors from an earlier study with 341 Ss. At the 2nd order, 9 factors were found, and at the 3rd order, 2 forms of the well-known conduct problem and personality problem factors that could not be reduced by a 4th-order factoring were revealed. The study also demonstrated convergencies among factors derived from the CBCP instrument and the factors, syndromes, or diagnostic categories of other instruments (e.g., 16-24 DSM-III categories appear to be fair matches for the 1st- and 3rd-order factors of the CBCP).
