The Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance: Does It Work with Low-Income Urban Children?
Fantuzzo, John W.; And Others
Child Development, v67 n3 p1071-84 Jun 1996
Examined construct validity of the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance and its appropriateness for urban children. Data collected from a sample of 476 African American children of low-income families in a large metropolitan Head Start program failed to produce psychologically meaningful constructs or support for assumptions that the test is developmentally appropriate for preschool age.
