Description Usage Format Source Examples

The response to challenge scale (RCS) is a theory-derived, observer-rated measure of children's self-regulation in response to a physically challenging situation (Lakes & Hoyt, 2004; Lakes, 2012). It asks raters to make inferences in 3 domains: cognitive (6 items), affective/motivational (7 items), and physical (3 items). The data included here are post test ratings from the study presented in Lakes & Hoyt (2009).
