Abstract
An appraisal instrument designed to be used by classroom teachers was developed to evaluate the emotional health of junior high school pupils. The instrument was administered to 3,114 pupils in grades 7, 8, and 9 in five junior high schools representing low, average, and high socioeconomic levels in two school districts in Los Angeles County, California. Analysis of the data indicated that the instrument is reliable and valid. The instrument may be used (a) to identify pupils who need help with self-acceptance, getting along with others, and facing reality; and (b) to aid teachers in guiding pupils in the solution of their behavior problems.
