This study examined the psychometric properties of the Risk Assessment and Distress Recovery (RADR) Scale—a new self-report psychological screening tool for high school students that explores risk factors related to mental health characteristics of students who have engaged in school violence. The sample consisted of 1093 high school students from all four regions of the United States. A four-factor model consisting of coping skills, depression, suicidal ideation, and narcissism demonstrated good fit. Results of confirmatory factor analysis and measurement invariance, as well as internal consistency estimates, provide initial evidence for reliability and validity of the RADR. Exploratory analyses between the RADR and characteristics of past school shooters are also presented. Students with disabilities self-reported significantly greater risks for mental health concerns across all four constructs, with small (.15) to large (.80) effect sizes.

这项研究研究了风险评估和遇险恢复量表（RADR）的心理计量学特性。RADR量表是一种针对高中生的新型自我报告心理筛查工具，旨在探讨与参加学校暴力的学生的心理健康特征相关的危险因素。样本包括来自美国所有四个地区的1093名高中生。由应对技巧，抑郁，自杀意念和自恋构成的四因素模型显示出很好的契合性。验证性因素分析和测量不变性的结果以及内部一致性估计为RADR的可靠性和有效性提供了初步证据。还介绍了RADR和过去的学校射手的特征之间的探索性分析。
