The second is Reactive Anger (RA), which refers to the type of anger that occurs as an immediate response to a stimulus. Finally, the instrument measures Anger Control (AC), which refers to the subject’s anger management ability. These three scales come together to form a Total Anger score, which is “a general index of anger expression.” The AARS is a tool for me to choose it was designed from a cognitive-behavioral perspective (Henington, 2001). It is also a reasonable choice for Jeffery’s case his behavior is indicative of anger.

I chose this since Jeffery’s mother claimed he was drinking. I think it is important to be straightforward about a habit like alcohol use it can lead to much more serious problems. If Jeffery is willing to be cooperative and honest, this assessment will be effective for his case. A reason to use the ADI is it measures the severity of any existing drinking problem. It also incorporates questions about fighting and getting in trouble. These problem behaviors often go together with alcohol use. The analyses of the ADI when it was being composed were performed with three different groups: “school sample” (the general population), “treatment sample” (adolescents under treatment for alcohol use), and the “validation sample” (adolescents with psychological/behavioral problems). This wide range helps add to the data available when determining reliability and validity (Donlon, …show more content…
Since this is a new behavior, it may take something as simple as a change in a group of friends to make Jeffery stop. Easy precautions can be taken to help prevent him from drinking. His mother can remove alcohol from their home. Mrs. Gibbins may also consider hiring a babysitter when she must work late nights to ensure that Jeffery will not sneak out. Speaking to Jeffery’s friends about the problem and possibly involving their parents may be necessary if the problem is severe enough. Mr. Gibbins may be notified of the problem as well. he is not in the state, he still has a relationship with his son and may be able to help him through this habit. Finally, if Jeffery is truly involved in serious substance abuse, he should be referred to a rehabilitation center or hospital. If Jeffery does not currently score in the range of alcohol abuse, Mrs. Gibbins should still take the previously mentioned precautions to prevent him from beginning a more serious drinking
