A child is being cooperative during an X-ray but suddenly starts having a gag reflex. What Frankl behavior rating is this child?

The Frankl Behavior Rating Scale ranges from 1 (definitely negative) to 4 (definitely positive). A child who is generally cooperative but shows some momentary, situational negative behavior (like gagging, without refusal or strong negativity) fits a rating of 3 ('positive' — some reluctance/hesitancy but follows instructions), not full definitely-positive (4) or a negative rating (1-2).
