Reversals, delinquency and disruption.
The tendency to operate in the telic rather than the paratelic state was examined in three groups of adolescent boys. Those in the first group had a record of criminal behaviour, the second group consisted of subjects whose school behaviour was regarded by teachers as disruptive and a third group acted as controls. Scores and subscores on the Telic Dominance Scale were analysed, revealing a generally greater tendency for the delinquent group to operate in the paratelic state, whilst disruptive subjects themselves showed lower telic dominance than the controls. The implications of these results for popular explanation as well as intervention are discussed.

Can we effectively assess hyperactivity in schools?
All too often, restless, fidgety children who do not sit still or pay attention at school, and who may be disruptive and difficult to manage, are labelled 'hyperactive' by their teachers. The legitimacy of such a diagnosis is seldom challenged. Just what, though, does a child have to do to be hyperactive? This article sets out to review some of the measures which have been employed and to look, in particular, at their relevance in the assessment of activity levels within the classroom.
