Article Abstract:

An ambiguity is highlighted between the definition that describes the main feature of Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) as defiance toward authority and the more general description of the disorder that considers general hostility towards peers. A study was conducted to determine whether ODD towards kindergarten teachers and ODD towards peers represent two separate constructs rather than a single one.
