Evaluating Preschool Children's Sensitivity to Developmental Differences in Their Peers.
Diamond, Karen E.
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v14 n1 p49-63 Spr 1994
This study first found that an adaptation of the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance for Young Children exhibited construct validity and test-retest reliability in assessing preschool children's sensitivity to age-related differences in peers' developmental abilities. Second, children with disabilities were viewed as less competent on developmental tasks than classmates without disabilities. (JDD)
