If not identified timely and addressed adequately, emotional difficulties can not only create and perpetuate academic, behavioral and social difficulties but also lead to life-long struggles with psychological issues.
Mental-health and school professionals play a key role in identifying barriers to classroom learning posed by emotional and behavioral issues. Due to the extent of contact a child has with school professionals such as teachers, such professionals can identify, intervene and monitor outcomes of interventions more practically and effectively.
At Pearson, we understand that you, as a mental-health or school professional, may be looking for ways to identify emotional difficulties and underlying causes of behavioral issues in children and adolescents, so that timely and effective intervention for such individuals can take place.
With Emotional Health being a focus areas for Pearson's solutions in India and the subcontinent, we bring to you the latest addition to our psychological assessment solutions: Beck Youth Inventories, Second Edition, India (BYI-IIINDIA)

Now assess Indian children assuring confidence in your clinical decision making, while helping you plan effective intervention. The new Beck Youth Inventories™ -Second Edition, India for Children and Adolescents are designed for Indian children and adolescents ages 7 through 18 years. Five self-report inventories can be used separately or in combination to assess symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, disruptive behavior, and self-concept.
BYI-IIINDIA consists of five inventories:
The five inventories each contain 20 questions about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors associated with emotional and social impairment in youth. Children and adolescents describe how frequently the statement has been true for them during the past two weeks, including today. The instruments measure the child’s or adolescent’s emotional difficulties, disruptive behavior and social impairment in five specific areas:
- Depression Inventory: This inventory allows for early identification of symptoms of depression. It includes items related to a child’s or adolescent’s negative thoughts about self, life and the future, feelings of sadness and guilt, and sleep disturbance.
- Anxiety Inventory: Reflects children’s and adolescents’ specific worries about school performance, the future, negative reactions of others, fears including loss of control, and physiological symptoms associated with anxiety.
- Anger Inventory: Evaluates a child’s or adolescent’s thoughts of being treated unfairly by others, feelings of anger and hatred.
- Disruptive Behavior Inventory: Identifies thoughts and behaviors associated with conduct disorder and oppositional-defiant behavior.
