Canonical variate analysis of the relationships between teachers' ratings of children's behavior and an index of teacher‐pupil compatibility objectively demonstrated a significant relationship between behaviors representative of serious psychopathology and teacher‐pupil compatibility. Previous multivariate analyses of variance had failed to identify meaningful relationships between teacher‐pupil compatibility and teacher nomination of a child as a behavior problem. This study provides inferential support for the contention that school behavior problems and emotional disturbances are separate nosological entities.
