Abstract
One hundred and fifty six children (112 elementary school children, 44 children from classes for the emotionally disturbed) were administrated the Children's Dysfunctional Cognition (CDC) Scale for purposed of standardizing the instrument. Results indicate that the CDC is reliable and valid. The scale differentiates between normal and disturbed populations and is highly correlated with teacher's ratings of classroom behavior. Use of the scale in research paradigms focusing on the use of cognitive behavioral change techniques with children is suggested.
