“…The SAC is distinctive from other children's assessment instruments because it combines brevity (one page), breadth (externalizing and internalizing dimensions), generalizability (designed for both preadolescent and adolescent boys and girls), and multiple informants (parent or teacher respondent) in one scale. Similar items are found in longer instruments and in much earlier work (Hewitt & Jenkins, 1946;Wittenborn & Holzberg, 1951). Similar items are also found in a number of shorter scales that have less breadth, are less generalizable, or use only a single respondent (see copies of many of these scales in Fischer & Corcoran, 1994).…”

“…The SAC is based on dimensional classifications and items that extend back a half-century (Hewitt & Jenkins, 1946;Wittenborn & Holzberg, 1951). The decision to use the dimensional approach resulted from the abundance of empirical studies that have established the validity and stability of dimensional approaches in numerous samples.…”

“…The existence of manic subtypes has long been suggested and these subtypes derive some face validity both from clinical observation, as well as more formalized early studies. Studies reviewed above (6–9) confirm the existence of a symptom set characterized by euphoria, irritability, psychomotor pressure and grandiosity. Psychomotor pressure is central to both mixed and non‐mixed subtypes.…”

“…Few statistical studies have formally identified symptoms that comprise the manic syndrome from a broader context, despite well‐established clinical recognition of a syndrome. Five studies of symptoms in diagnostically diverse cohorts identified clusters that resembled mania (6–10). Those studies are concordant to the degree that they included like symptoms; euphoria and irritability were identified in all of those studies, while psychomotor pressure and grandiosity were prominent in four of the five.…”

“…Despite significant variation in format, construct representation and era, the factor structures of these symptom measures are remarkably consistent. Some of the earliest studies, conducted during the DSM-I era (Wittenborn, 1951; Wittenborn & Holzberg, 1951; Lorr, 1957), report lower-level symptom factors that are strikingly similar to those conducted more recently during the DSM-IV era (e.g. Krabbendam et al 2004; Dikeos et al 2006).…”
