Pupil Disruptive Behavior: Development and Factor Structure of an Operational Measure

Frederick C. Lunenburg

University of Louisville

Linda J. Schmidt

Chicago Public Schools

This study was designed to measure pupil disruptive behavior in schools. In order to measure pupil disruptive behavior, an instrument called the Pupil Disruptive Behavior (PDB) Scale was developed and tested. A 64-item instrument was administered to 227 public high school educators in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. A principal components analysis revealed three interpretable factors accounting for 45% of the variance. A 29-item PDB Scale is presented that shows moderately high reliability at the high school level.
