Abstract

Behavioral expectations established in a society based on specific coexistence conditions represent a definition schema on behaviors identified or not as deviant or antisocial actions according both informal rules and Constitution legal standards. This paper is focused to address antisocial activities by such recognition of potential threats they pose to a coexistence scenario, where tools of knowledge are provided by different areas, such as sociology, psychology and criminology.

Abstract

This paper takes up the argument regarding the inadequacy of the medical model as an ideologized practice of psychology in the area of abnormal behavior problems. Drawing on those behavioral approach arguments that are still valid, in favor of a functional analysis strategy, which is the cornerstone of behavioral assessment, the deprofessionalization is proposed as an alternative ideology to establish criteria for the application of psychological knowledge.

Abstract

This paper reports on an empirical study of the content validity of a Structured Behavioural Interview (SBI). The study was based on 11 experts' ratings, using a method proposed by Lawshe (1975). A significant Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was found for 4 out of 14 questions and for 4 out of 10 general dimensions. A Content Validity Index (CVI) of .86 was obtained for the significant dimensions as a whole and of .68 for the questions. Additionally, reliability was estimated by using the coefficient of agreement between raters (6 or 12) and the result was .78, similar to the .75 value obtained in meta-analyses by Conway, Jako and Goodman (1995) and by Salgado and Moscoso (1995).
