The PIY is a multidimensional, psychometrically sound self-report instrument designed specifically for young people. It is composed of 270 items covering 9 nonoverlapping clinical scales and 24 nonoverlapping subscales:
Cognitive Impairment
Poor Achievement and Memory
Inadequate Abilities
Learning Problems
Impulsivity/Distractibility
Brashness
Distractibility and Overactivity
Impulsivity
Delinquency
Antisocial Behavior
Dyscontrol
Noncompliance
Family Dysfunction
Parent-Child Conflict
Parent Maladjustment
Marital Discord
Reality Distortion
Feelings of Alienation
Hallucinations and Delusions
Somatic Concern
Psychosomatic Syndrome
Muscular Tension and Anxiety
Preoccupation With Disease
Psychological Discomfort
Fear and Worry
Depression
Sleep Disturbance
Social Withdrawal
Social Introversion
Isolation
Social Skill Deficits
Limited Peer Status
Conflict With Peers
The 24 subscales reveal more specific clinical content, making the PIY an excellent diagnostic tool. In addition, four validity scales tell you whether the respondent is exaggerating, malingering, or responding defensively, carelessly, or without adequate comprehension. The first 80 items of the test can be used as a screener to quickly identify students who would show problems on the full inventory.
Items are written at a third-grade reading level. An audio CD is available for poor readers, and a Spanish Administration Booklet is available for those who read Spanish only.
The PIY gives you a reliable and valid measure of child and adolescent psychopathology, based on the respondent’s own perceptions.
PIC-2/PIY/SBS 25-use scoring CD available on PIC-2 page.
