There are several levels of Anger Management Profile (AMP) interpretation ranging from viewing the AMP as a self-report to interpreting scale elevations and scale inter-relationships. The following table is a starting point for interpreting AMP scale scores.

The Children’s Anger Response Checklist (CARC) assesses the behavioral, cognitive, physiological, and affective components of anger experienced by children. Dimensions of the CARC are based on Novaco’s (1975) conceptualization of anger. The overall rating incorporates components of the Children’s Inventory of Anger (pp. 44–46). The current version ...
The CARC may be administered verbally or completed independently. The authors recommend completing the first hypothetical situation with the child to gauge his or her comprehension of directions and to monitor the completion of the response checklist and the overall anger level rating. The CARC is estimated to take 15–30 min to complete.
For each hypothetical situation, five possible responses are listed for each domain (behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and physiological). For each situation, scores are computed for each domain and subdomain by counting the number of items endorsed within each domain. Anger ratings (scores from 1 to 5) are also recorded for each situation. Total d...
Domain and subdomain scores represent the frequency with which those types of responses are utilized. Anger ratings for each situation indicate the level of anger provoked by the situation. Overall anger ratings indicate level of anger experienced across situations. The overall responsivity score may be used as means of monitoring compliance to the...
Factor analysis.Principal component analyses with varimax rotation of the CARC subscales, but not the Overall Anger ratings, did not produce the expected four-component structure (behavioral, cognitive, physiological, and emotional components). The authors concluded that the CARC might be suited to facilitate children’s awareness of their responses...
Moderate. The CARC has potential to aid in the clinical interpretation of how a child perceives and responds to anger-provoking situations. Thus, it may be useful for treatment planning and pre/post-intervention assessment. Available data can guide the use of the CARC for the identification of response styles. More substantial normative data are ne...
Moderate. The CARC is useful in assessing multiple dimensions of anger. There is some question concerning the ability of the CARC to differentiate between assertive and aggressive responses. Further tests of reliability (e.g., test–retest) and validity are warranted.
