The Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS) is a four part behavior rating scale designed to measure four types of aggressive behavior as witnessed in the past week. Each section consists of five questions, with the first section regarding verbal aggression, the second section focusing on aggression against property, the third section measuring autoaggression, and the fourth section concerning physical aggression. Respondents are asked to check whether each statement describes the child’s behavior over the previous week. The MOAS was originally intended for use by physicians in a clinical setting, but parents may also use it to track aggressive behaviors in their children over time. It is particularly helpful in assessing aggressive behaviors in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBIs). The scores of the scale have shown good reliability and validity across multiple different study samples〔〔 == Scoring/interpretation == Total scores on the MOAS range from 0-40, with a higher score indicating more aggressive behavior. Each checked statement receives 1 point, then points from each section are summed. Section scores are weighted as follows: *Scores from the “Aggression Against Property” section multiplied by 2; *Scores from the “Autoaggression” section multiplied by 3; *Scores from the “physical aggression” section multiplied by 4. Weighted score are then added together to yield the total score. A scoring summary can be found at the bottom of the measure to aid in interpretation of responses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Modified Overt Aggression Scale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
