CONTENT, SCORING, AND TABULATION CONTENT The DECA 1–18M has 33 items that reflect positive behaviors (strengths) typically seen in resilient infants, age 4 weeks to 18 months. These positive behaviors comprise two protective factor scales:  Initiative (18 items): Assesses the infant’s ability to use independent thought and actions to meet her or his needs. Sample items include “try new things,” “imitate actions of others,” “show interest in what others are doing,” “express her/his dislikes,” and “look to a familiar adult when exploring her/his surroundings.”  Attachment/Relationships (15 items): Assesses the mutual, strong, long-lasting relationship between the infant and significant adults such as family members and teachers. Sample items include, “enjoy interacting with others,” “show affection for a familiar adult,” “seek comfort from familiar adults,” and “smile at a familiar adult.”  A Total Protective Factors Scale: A composite of the above two scales that provides an overall indication of the strength of the infant’s protective factors.
