- Objective: To establish the validity and reliability of a provisional 30-item impulsive aggression (IA) diary in children (ages 6–12 years, inclusive) with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: The provisional 30-item IA diary was administered for 14 days to parents of children with ADHD and IA symptoms (n = 103). Key inclusion criteria: confirmed ADHD diagnosis; signs of IA as measured by a Retrospective-Modified Overt Aggression Scale (R-MOAS) score ≥20 and an Aggression Questionnaire score of −2 to −5. Analyses included inter-item correlations, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), item response theory (IRT) modeling, internal consistency, test–retest reliability (TRT), concurrent validity (estimated by correlation between the IA diary and the R-MOAS/Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form), and known-groups methods. Results: The prevalence rates of 15 (50.0%) items were found to be too low (
