Appendix B

Child Responsibility Attitude Scale
(CRAS)

This questionnaire lists beliefs which people sometimes have. Read each statement carefully and decide how much you agree or disagree with it. For each of the beliefs, put a circle round the words which
best describe how you
think
. Choose only one answer for each attitude. Because people are different, there are no right or wrong answers. To decide whether a given attitude is like your way of looking at things, simply keep in mind what you are like
most of the time
.

Appendix B

Scoring instructions

For each item score:

1

for ‘Totally agree’

2

for ‘Agree very much’

3

for ‘Agree slightly’

4

for ‘Neutral’

5

for ‘Disagree slightly’

6

for ‘Disagree very much’

7

for ‘Totally disagree’.

The total score on the questionnaire is then calculated by summing the item scores.

NB
This means that the score increases as the child shows fewer responsibility attitudes.

Appendix C

Children’s Responsibility Interpretation

Questionnaire
(CRIQ)

Instructions

We are interested in how you feel about thoughts that have just popped into your mind in the last week. The type of thoughts we’re interested in usually interrupt what you are thinking or doing and you can have them more than once. They may be words, pictures, or a sudden feeling that you’re going to do something. These are usually called  thoughts.

We are interested in intrusive thoughts you have that you find hard to deal with. We know that most people have this type of thought at some time, so there’s nothing unusual about this. Some examples of unpleasant intrusive thoughts are: • Repeated pictures in your mind of hurting someone

• Suddenly thinking that your hands are dirty and you may spread germs

• Suddenly thinking that you might not have turned off a water tap, or left an outside door or window open

• Repeated pictures in your mind, that don’t make any sense, of someone you love (like your Mum or Dad) getting hurt

• Repeated urge to hurt someone or hit them (even though you would never do this).
