This article describes two studies concerning social conduict at high school lusing self-evaluation by quiestionnaire. The first was a construict validation study of an inistrument based on the categor-ies of Milburn (1974) that produced scores for several categories of behavior: Two samiples were used (N = 1,299 and N = 937). Image factor analysis extracted a dominant genieral factor that accouinted for the results. A second step of the first study led to the construction and examination of a n?ew 25-item quiestionniaire that produces a single total score related to thZe emergent general factor. The seconid study verified the construlct validity and reliability of the inew inst-ument, the Class Contduict Questionnaire, using a new sample (N = 744). In the discussioni it is suggested that the generalfactor is related to the respect of social ruiles at sclhool. These results do not question the diversity of social conduct, but they do show that the student judges his or her various behaviors in terms of a genieralframne of referentce.
