Student Risk Screening Scale (SRSS)

Directions: Please rate each student on each behavior using the following scale:

0=Never, 1=Rarely, 2=Occasionally, 3=Frequently

Student Name / Stealing / Lying,
Cheating, Sneaking / Behavior Problems / Peer Rejection / Low Academic Achievement / Negative Attitude / Aggressive Behaviors

Description from Lane et. al., 2009 Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders

SRSS. The SRSS (Drummond, 1994) is a psychometrically sound, seven-item mass screening tool used to identify elementary students at risk for antisocial behavior patterns. Teachers rate each student on seven items— steals; lies, cheats, sneaks; behavior problems; peer rejection; low achievement; negative attitude; and aggressive behavior—using a 4-point, Likert-type scale ranging from 0 to 3 (0 = never, 1 = occasionally, 2 = sometimes, 3 = frequently). Total scores range from 0 to 21, forming three risk categories: low (0 to 3), moderate (4 to 8), or high risk (9 or higher).

Lane et. al. also found that the SRSS is as accurate at predicting externalizing behavior as the SSBD but was not as accurate at predicting internalizing behavior.
