Q-Sort Definitions of Social Competence and Self-Esteem: Discriminant Validity of Related Constructs in Theory and Data.
Waters, Everett; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v21 n3 p508-22 May 1985
Two studies illustrating a methodology for describing similarities and distinctions between related constructs are reported. In Study 1, psychologists described behavioral and personality characteristics of preschool children through definitions of social competence and self-esteem using Q-set items. In Study 2, the relation between conceptual definitions and actual observations of preschool children was correlated. (Author/DST)
