The present study objectives were three. First, the factor structure of Chesney and Tasto's Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ) was reexamined to determine whether Chesney and Tasto's (1975a) two-factor or Webster's (1980) and Stephenson, Denney, and Aberger's (1983) multifactor result could be replicated. Second, the internalconsistency reliability of the MSQ in the present study was determined. Third, known and suspected menstrual symptom report confounders were deleted from the analysis to determine whether or not exclusion of menstrual symptom confounders results in a factor structure which differs significantly from samples which include known symptom confounders.A "Heterogeneous" sample (n = 330), similar to samples used in previous studies, and a more "homogeneous" sample (n = 230), which deleted menstrual symptom confounders, were utilized in the MSQ factor analysis replication. Six factors resulted from both samples: premenstrual negative affect, menstrual pain, premenstrual pain, gastrointestinal/prostaglandin, water retention, and asymptomatic. Cronbach's alpha internal-consistency reliability was determined to be .89 in the heterogeneous sample and .90 in the homogeneous sample. It was concluded that these results 1) supported the existence of multiple menstrual syndromes and 2) supported the high internal consistency reliability of the MSQ, and 3) indicated the robustness of the factor analytic structure of MSQ's menstrual symptoms to the inclusion of known menstrual symptom confounders.

“…The output from this phase may be as simple as the statement, "This student's academic skills are progressing at the expected rate, except in the area of written expression where they are beyond expectation; continuation of the present program is recommended." On the other hand, the output could be a complex formulation de- Behavioral assessment for this phase may use a variety of methods, including indirect assessment of behavior, direct assessment in controlled environments, and direct methods in natural environments (Cone and Hawkins, 1977 (Beck, 1972), the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (Rathus, 1973), and the Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (Chesney and Tasto, 1975).…”

An attempt is made to identify the many different functions that assessment of an individual's repertoire can serve. Implications of these functions for the character of and evidence about assessment devices are suggested. The functions fall into two general groups, those which influence decisions regarding an individual learner, and those which influence policy, program development, and scientific knowledge. The first group of functions is presented in a rough chronological sequence such that they form a "behavioral assessment funnel," beginning with functions involving broad-band assessment to identify likely persons and skill areas, and narrowing to the precise pinpointing, monitoring, and follow-up functions. The contribution of behavior analysis and behavior therapy to assessment methodology in this sequence is identified as well as the areas where more traditionally conceived methods are still useful. The second group of functions and behavioral contributions to it are then discussed.DESCRIPTORS: behavioral assessment, functions of assessment, selection of assessment devices, traditional assessment, clinical assessment, educational assessment, phases of assessment, construction of assessment devices Applied behavior analysis has made profound contributions to the technology for assessing repertoires. At the same time, behavior analysts have often rejected or ignored valuable existing ("traditional") knowledge and technology for clinical and educational assessment (Cone, 1977;Goldfried, 1977;Hawkins, 1975;Nelson and Bowles, 1975; Hlartmann, Note 1). The purposes of the present paper are three. The first is to identify several different phases and functions in assessment. The second is to put the contributions of behavior analysis in context, showing where the contribution thus far has been greatest and where previously existing knowledge and technology can be of value
