TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - The Peer Preference Test as a measure of reward value: item analysis, cross-validation, concurrent validation, and replication JO - Journal of abnormal child psychology A1 - Evers-Pasquale, W. L. SP - 175 EP - 188 VL - 6 IS - 2 N2 - Thirty-six preschoolers were administered and retested on a 15-item Peer Preference Test designed to measure the reward value of peers for each child. Test-retest reliability was .88, and after item analyses, 12 items were maintained in the test. The revised test was then administered to 29 other preschoolers. Test-retest reliability was .77, and item analyses indicated that each item made a significant contribution to the overall test. Concurrent validation of the test was demonstrated using both a picture sociometric and a behavioral measure. In addition, the Evers-Pasquale and Sherman (1975) study was replicated, using 10 preschool social isolates.
