Abstract (type = abstract)
The present study examined the convergent validity of observer ratings of externalizing behavior symptomatology using the Behavioral Observation of Students in Schools (BOSS; Shapiro, 2004) and teacher ratings of externalizing behavior symptoms on the Behavior Assessment System for Children, Third Edition (BASC-III; Reynolds, Kamphaus, & Vannest, 2015) on student academic achievement measured by the Woodcock Johnson Tests of Achievement, Fourth Edition (WJ-IV ACH; Schrank, Mather, & McGrew, 2014). The study included a sample of 197 K-5th grade students with or at-risk for externalizing behavior disorders from 36 schools. Teacher ratings of student behavior symptomatology, namely aggression (r = -.16, p = .02), and school problems (r = -.36, p < .001), were significantly related to student achievement. Direct observation data did not significantly relate to student achievement. A series of multilevel models were conducted to examine the convergent validity of the BOSS and BASC-3 externalizing behavior scores on academic achievement. Variables were related, but not potent predictors of achievement for these children. Research limitations and implications of findings for school psychology practice are presented.
