WPPSI Reliability and Predictive Validity With Disadvantaged Mexican-American Children

Henderson, Ronald W.; Rankin, Richard J.

Journal of School Psychology, 11, 1, 16-20, Mar 73

The reliability and predictive validity of the WPPSI was investigated with a sample of lower SES Mexican-American children. The results revealed that the WPPSI has high reliability, as determined by internal consistency procedures, but validity coefficients were not significant. The WPPSI may be inappropriate for special program placement purposes with this population. (Author)
