A growing body of research has documented the relevance for children's development of "environmental confusion" (high levels of noise, crowding, home traffic pattern). However research in this area has been hampered by the high costs of obtaining adequaet measures of environmental confusion. In this article we present evidence on the psychometric characteristics of a recently developed parent report measure of environmentla confusion : the confusion, hubbub, and order scale (CHAOS). Study 1 based on a sample of 123 families, present evidence indicating satisfactory internal consistency and test - retest stability for CHAOS. Study 2, based on a separate sample of 52 families, presents evidence indicating that CHAOs scores are significantly related to directly observer measures of enviromental confusion and parental behaviours. Although related to distal demographic factors, CHAOS scores appear to be measuring environmental processes that are distinct from sociodemographic measures. These results support the utility of CHAOS as an economical measure of environmental confusion in the home.
