The scale was developed for students in late elementary and middle school. There are two versions of the SRQ-A. The first version is the one that has used in many studies of school children. It asks four questions about why students do various school related behaviors.The second versions of the SRQ-A, which is a modification of the first, was created for students with Learning Disabilities.
