Results Overview

The ABC-J Irritability subscale consists of 15 items. Each item scores range from 0 to 3: 0 = No problem, 1 = Mild aberrant behavior, 2 = Moderate aberrant behavior, and 3 = Severe aberrant behavior. Individual scores were summed, therefore, the overall score range was between 0-45. Higher scores represent worse condition.
